表態支持彈劾赫格塞斯 眾院民主黨領袖直言:他必須下台

民主黨在期中大選中取得大勝,傑佛瑞斯預計將成為眾議院議長,並強烈支持彈劾赫格塞斯。

Quick Look

民主黨在美國期中大選中取得大勝,掌控參議院與眾議院。眾議院民主黨少數黨領袖傑佛瑞斯預計將成為眾議院議長,並表示「絕對支持」彈劾國防部長赫格塞斯,指控其濫用職權、損害國家安全。共和黨眾議員馬西計畫最快於9日提出彈劾決議案。民主黨在眾議院擁有254席,超過通過彈劾條款所需的218席門檻,但在參議院仍缺乏三分之二多數,需爭取共和黨支持。

Why It Matters

民主黨在美國期中大選中取得大勝,以優勢獲得參議院與眾議院控制權。身為目前眾議院民主黨少數黨領袖的傑佛瑞斯,預計將成為眾議院議長。彈劾是1項罕見的程序,眾議院可以透過投票裁定公職人員是否涉及不當行為,之後參議院則可以再透過投票,決定是否將該名官員免職。

民主黨在美國期中大選中取得大勝,以優勢獲得參議院與眾議院控制權。身為目前眾議院民主黨少數黨領袖的傑佛瑞斯,預計將成為眾議院議長。傑佛瑞斯8日接受媒體採訪時稱,他「絕對支持」彈劾美國國防部長赫格塞斯。

根據英國廣播公司(BBC)報導,即將卸任的共和黨眾議員馬西是美國總統川普的反對者,他表示計畫最快於9日提出彈劾赫格塞斯的決議案,這可能導致赫格塞斯被解除職務。傑佛瑞斯8日接受美國廣播公司(ABC)節目《本週》採訪時強調,他強烈支持彈劾赫格塞斯。

傑佛瑞斯指出,赫格塞斯濫用職權及損害國家安全,一手策劃了原先可避免的美伊衝突,讓美國付出高昂代價。傑佛瑞斯說「我絕對支持針對赫格塞斯的彈劾決議案。赫格塞斯必須下台。」

彈劾是1項罕見的程序,眾議院可以透過投票裁定公職人員是否涉及不當行為,之後參議院則可以再透過投票,決定是否將該名官員免職。

民主黨目前在眾議院已取得254席的多數優勢,遠超過通過彈劾條款所需的218席門檻。

但民主黨在參議院的席次,尚未達到將官員定罪並免職所需的三分之二多數。因此民主黨仍須爭取共和黨議員支持,而這在政治上將面臨極高難度。

另外美國國防部告訴《BBC》,國防部一直依法行事,而赫格塞斯不會因為「虛假調查」而退縮。
