Yes, I think this is a deliberate act to cut off supply lines. Since these are the lawmakers themselves I don't know if you can make a case for treason.

However if a private citizen or member of the armed services pursued an action like this independently then I don't know what other word you could use.

It's also possible there is already a back room deal with Turkey to avoid a ban on US troops even in the event of passage of the resolution.
