We prove that any 4-dimensional geodesically complete spacetime with a timelike Killing field satisfying the vacuum Einstein field equation $Ric(g_{M})=\lambda g_{M}$ with nonnegative cosmological constant $\lambda\geq 0$ is flat. When dim $\geq 5$, if the spacetime is assumed to be static additionally, we prove that its universal cover splits isometrically as a product of a Ricci flat Riemannian manifold and a real line.
