川普无权开除我 美联储主席被激怒了
2019-03-11 18:52:00 法新社
美国联邦储备局主席鲍威尔表示，总统特朗普无法开除他。
鲍威尔表示要完成四年任期
法新社报道，鲍威尔在哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）星期天播出的《60分钟》节目中说：“法律明确规定我的任期为四年。我打算做到任满为止。”
当主持人直接问鲍威尔是否认为特朗普有权解雇他时，他回答：“不。”
鲍威尔还表示，联储的政策决定是基于经济数据，而不是政治考虑。他说：“我们被要求以严格的非政治性的方式执行政策，为所有美国人服务，这就是我们所做的。在这个意义上，我们是独立的。”
鲍威尔拒绝批评特朗普，或透露两人私下谈话的内容，称这么做并“不妥当”。
他说：“我尽量不针对总统置评。我只是认为，对总统或其他任何民选官员置评是不妥当的。如果这么做，我认为这会分散我们对于手上重要工作的注意力。”
他也表示，今年美国经济增长率料放缓，但不会陷入衰退。
由于不满美联储一再加息，特朗普多次公开批评鲍威尔和美联储，认为他们是导致美股大跌的主要原因。此前有消息称，特朗普考虑开除鲍威尔。

President Donald Trump thanked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Wednesday morning for comments she made to The Washington Post about the possibility of his impeachment.
Trump said he "greatly appreciated" her remarks, adding that "everyone must remember the minor fact that I never did anything wrong."
In an interview with The Post published Monday, Pelosi said, "I'm not for impeachment," adding that Trump is "just not worth it."
"Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don't think we should go down that path, because it divides the country," she said. "And he's just not worth it."
Pelosi added she does not believe Trump is "fit" to be president.
"I mean, ethically unfit," she said. "Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit. No, I don't think he's fit to be president of the United States," she said.
Possible impeachment proceedings would have to begin in the House Judiciary Committee, where Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., last week made document requests of 81 people and entities tied to the president.
"Impeachment is a long way down the road," Nadler told ABC News "This Week" earlier this month. "We don’t have the facts yet, but we’re going to initiate proper investigations." He added that it's Congress' "job to protect the rule of law."
"That’s our core function," he added. "And to do that we are going to initiate investigations into abuses of power ... into corruption and into obstruction of justice."

In a stinging rebuke to President Donald Trump, 12 Republicans joined Democrats as the Senate voted to reject his decision to declare a national emergency in order to build a border wall -- a striking blow to his agenda and a clear warning to Trump about presidential overreach.
All told, twelve Republicans voted with all 47 Democrats in support of the resolution to terminate his emergency declaration. Trump has now been forced into the embarrassing position of having to likely issue his first veto -- of a measure that garnered so much GOP backing. The House voted to terminate the declaration last month.
Just after the vote, Trump made his intentions clear with a one-word tweet: "VETO!"
He then followed up with a second tweet thanking all the "strong Republicans who voted to support Border Security."
After the Senate vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi formally signed the resolution that would be sent to the president's desk.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., signs H.J. Res 46, a disapproval resolution that blocks President Trump's national emergency declaration, on Capitol Hill in Washington, March 14, 2019.
Earlier on Thursday, Trump repeated his earlier threat to veto the resolution.
"I don't know what the vote will be. I'll probably have to veto. It won't be overturned and the legal scholars say it's totally constitutional," Trump said. "It is very important. It is a border security vote. It is pure and simple, a vote for border security."
"If I do a veto, it's not going to be overturned," Trump added later.
Sen. Mitt Romney talks with reporters before the Senate Policy luncheons in the Capitol, March 5, 2019.
Just ahead of the afternoon vote, Republicans one by one started making their positions clear.
"This is a constitutional issue and I’m going to honor my oath of office," Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told reporters Thursday. He announced earlier in the day he would oppose the president.
Romney said he informed Trump about his decision last week.
"He'd rather have me vote in a different direction but I let him know that this for me is a matter of defending the constitution and the balance of powers that is core to our constitution and I believe he respects that," Romney said.
Earlier in the day, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he would stand by Trump.
"Let me first say that I support the president’s decision. So I will vote today to uphold it and reject this resolution of disapproval," McConnell said on the Senate floor.
Senate Republicans -- in hoping to avoid another stinging embarrassing the president -- were earlier in the week seeking to limit the number of defectors within their caucus who would buck Trump on the resolution.
At least a dozen Republicans signaled in recent weeks they were unhappy with the president's decision to go the route of a national emergency.
Many Republicans have expressed their concerns about the president’s ability, under the declaration, to move funds that have already been appropriated by Congress. They've also said they are concerned about the precedent it could send should a Democrat become president.
The last rays of sunlight fall on the dome of the U.S. Capitol, Jan. 30, 2018 in Washington.
Vice President Mike Pence was on Capitol Hill Tuesday afternoon meeting with Republicans on a potential deal on a separate piece of legislation that would alter the National Emergencies Act, in an effort to assuage senators who have issues with Trump's emergency authority.
One of the proposals under consideration was from Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and is designed to give Congress some authority over the emergency powers granted to the president.
His proposal would amend the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to say an emergency declaration would automatically expire after 30 days unless both chambers of Congress vote to approve it.
The legislation was seen as providing an off-ramp to a number of Republicans who were concerned about the president’s move to declare a national emergency but did not want to be seen as opposing him.
"It becomes a resolution of approval, not disapproval," Lee told reporters Tuesday.
But on Wednesday during a caucus lunch, Lee received a phone call from Trump where he was informed Trump was not on board with his legislation that would rein in his presidential powers.
Trump, attempting to limit the number of defections, later tweeted a compromise on Thursday.
"Prominent legal scholars agree that our actions to address the National Emergency at the Southern Border and to protect the American people are both CONSTITUTIONAL and EXPRESSLY authorized by Congress…If, at a later date, Congress wants to update the law, I will support those efforts, but today’s issue is BORDER SECURITY and Crime!!! Don’t vote with Pelosi!"

NY appeals court rules President Donald Trump must face Summer Zervos' defamation lawsuit
Kevin McCoy, USA TODAY Published 2:07 p.m. ET March 14, 2019 | Updated 2:13 p.m. ET March 14, 2019
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump cannot dismiss the defamation lawsuit filed against him by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on his "Apprentice" reality show who accuse him of sexual groping, a New York appeals court ruled Thursday.
U.S. presidents may not claim constitutional protection to gain temporary immunity from private lawsuits over alleged misconduct, the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court said.
"We reject defendant President Trump's argument that the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents a New York State court — and every other state court in the country — from exercising its authority under its state constitution," the five-justice panel ruled in a decision written by Justice Dianne Renwick. "Instead, we find that the Supremacy Clause was never intended to deprive a state court of its authority to decide cases and controversies under the state's constitution."
"Though he is tasked with significant responsibilities, the President is still a person, and he is not above the law," the court added.

Although the justices concurred that Zervos' case presented a valid argument for defamation, Justices Angela Mazzarelli and Peter Tom said the lawsuit should be delayed until Trump leaves office.
"Subjecting the President to a state trial court's jurisdiction imposes upon him a degree of control by the State of New York that interferes with his ability to carry out his constitutional duty of executing the laws of the United States," Mazzarelli wrote in the partial dissent.
The majority ruling upheld an earlier New York Supreme Court decision that allowed the case to go forward. In June, justices of New York's highest court rejected efforts by Trump's lawyers to win a temporary block of legal discovery in the Zervos case. The decision set the stage for a likely pretrial deposition of Trump sometime this spring or summer.
"We respectfully disagree with the majority decision in the Appellate Division," said Trump's attorney Marc Kasowitz in a statement that called the partial dissent "well reasoned."
"We will seek to appeal the majority decision to New York’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, which we expect will agree with the dissent," he said.
Mariann Meier Wang, an attorney for Zervos, said she and the former Apprentice contestant were pleased by Trump's latest legal setback in the case. "We look forward to proving to a jury that Ms. Zervos told the truth about Defendant’s unwanted sexual groping and holding him accountable for his malicious lies," Wang said.
Filed in January 2017, Zervos' lawsuit alleges that Trump “ambushed” her more than once in 2007, nine years before he was elected president, by kissing her on the mouth, touching her breast, and pressing his genitals against her.
Zervos also accused Trump of defaming her during presidential campaign rallies and via Twitter. During an Oct. 15, 2016, campaign stop in Maine, Trump alluded to Zervos by referring to "false allegations and outright lies, in an effort to elect Hillary Clinton President," the lawsuit charges.
Trump has denied Zervos' allegations and dismissed them as false. During state Supreme Court arguments in the case, Kasowitz said Trump's statements about Zervos were constitutionally protected remarks in which he defended himself.
Trump's attorneys rely in part on some of the legal arguments then-President Bill Clinton's lawyers made when he was accused in a 1994 federal court lawsuit over an alleged sexual assault. Paula Jones alleged that the attack on her took place in 1991 when she was an Arkansas state employee and Clinton was the state's governor.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed that presidents may be tried in federal courts during their office terms for allegations of private misconduct. After a four-year legal battle, Clinton agreed to pay an $850,000 settlement.
Attorneys on both sides in the Zervos case agreed that there has been no definitive legal ruling on whether a sitting U.S. president may be sued in a state court over allegations that do not involve official White House duties.

美国总统特朗普否决国会决议
2019-03-16 06:11:45 来源： 新华网
新华社华盛顿3月15日电（记者孙丁 刘阳） 美国总统特朗普15日否决一项国会决议，该决议叫停他此前宣布的美国南部边境出现“国家紧急状态”。这是特朗普在其任内首次行使否决权。
特朗普当天在白宫签署否决令，并为此前的决定辩护。他说：“国会有通过决议的自由，而我有责任否决它。”
美国国会众议院议长、民主党人佩洛西随后在社交媒体上发表声明说，为推翻特朗普的否决令，众议院将于3月26日举行投票。
特朗普否决的这项决议2月26日在国会众议院获得通过，3月14日在参议院通过。在特朗普行使否决权后，参众两院均需至少三分之二票数重新通过决议案，才能驳回总统的否决。
分析人士认为，特朗普否决国会决议将进一步加剧白宫与国会之间的对立。
2月15日，特朗普签署公告，宣布美国南部边境出现“边境安全和人道主义危机”，构成“国家紧急状态”。他运用“国家紧急状态”赋予总统的权力，绕过国会正常拨款程序，从其他渠道调拨资金在美国与墨西哥边境修建隔离墙。此举引发一系列政治风波和法律挑战。
修建美墨边境隔离墙是特朗普的核心竞选承诺之一。因白宫与民主党在国会预算案拨款造墙问题上尖锐对立，约四分之一美国联邦政府机构去年底至今年1月被迫关门35天，创美国历史上政府“停摆”时间最长纪录。
