共和党起草的临时拨款法案除为多个政府部门提供额外安保资金外，并未涵盖其他政策重点。共和党坚 持认为，法案可为进一步谈判争取时间。尽管共和党在参众两院均占多数席位，但仍不足以达到推进法 案所需的60票。 美国联邦政府运转资金本应来自年度预算拨款。国会两党通常应在10月1日新财年开始前通过新的年度 拨款法案。但由于近年来两党争斗激烈，往往无法及时达成一致，国会便试图通过临时拨款法案暂时维 持联邦政府运转。 过去一年中，美国联邦政府多次面临"停摆"危机，国会在2024年12月和2025年3月均在联邦政府资金耗 尽数小时前才通过短期支出法案。 美国联邦政府因两党政治博弈而"关门"在历史上也不少见。最近一次、也是历时最长的一次发生在2018 年底至2019年初，民主党反对时任总统特朗普提出的美墨边境墙项目拨款，两党在移民问题上争斗不 休，导致政府关门35天。2013年，奥巴马政府期间，一些保守派共和党议员阻挠奥巴马医改法案实施， 导致政府关门16天。 新华社北京9月29日电 综述｜美政府"停摆"危机逼近 两党"极限拉扯"恐遭政治反噬 新华社记者刘轶芳 美国联邦政府资金将在当地时间30日午夜耗尽。美国总统特朗普29日将在 ...
