美国中期选举在当地时间11月3日举行投票。
选民将选出国会议员。美国国会由众议院和参议院组成。众议院全部435个席位都会改选,众议员任期固定为两年。与此同时,参议院100个席位中,有35席亦会进行改选。参议员任期为六年。
国会的一项重要职责是制定及通过联邦法律,也就是适用于全国的法律。法律草案通常会先在众议院提出及辩论,而参议员的职责包括审议众议院提交的法案,决定通过或否决。
中期选举结果将决定由特朗普所属的共和党,还是在野的民主党控制国会,并影响特朗普总统能否顺利推行其施政计划。
选举结果也被视为衡量美国民众迄今对总统施政表现满意程度的指标。
美国政府分为行政、立法和司法三大分支,分别由总统、国会和司法机关行使权力。因此,哪个政党控制国会,对法律的制定有重大影响。
目前,参众两院均由共和党控制,但共和党的多数优势非常微弱。
共和党在众议院拥有218席,仅比取得控制权所需的最低席数目多一席。此外,还有一名通常与共和党共同投票的独立议员。
在参议院,共和党拥有53席。民主党必须取得51席,才能夺回参议院控制权。这是因为如果两党各得50席,现时同样属于共和党的副总统便可投下决定性一票。
如果在野的民主党夺回至少一个议院的控制权,便能取得权力,将自己提出的法案交由国会审议。
如果民主党赢得众议院或参议院任何一院的控制权,特朗普将很难再让任何法案在国会获得通过。
因此,他的内政计划可能会受到阻碍,尽管他已找到一些方法在不完全依靠所属政党的情况下行使权力。
如果民主党控制任何一院,也意味着他们可以利用委员会调查特朗普总统任期内的各项事务。有关贪腐的指控、新建的白宫宴会厅以及移民与海关执法局(ICE)的执法策略,都可能成为审查对象。
民主党内部亦就是否弹劾特朗普存在辩论。所谓弹劾,是指在国会提出指控,作为政治审讯而非刑事审讯的依据。
