Friday’s move sets up a fight that could result in Trump’s first-ever veto. It starts the clock on a constitutional clash between Trump and Democrats and sets up a vote by the full House as soon as next week.
The Democratic-controlled House is sure to pass the measure and the GOP-run Senate may adopt it as well despite Trump’s opposition.
Any Trump veto would likely be sustained but the upcoming battle will test Republican support for Trump’s move, which even some of his allies view as a stretch — and a slap at lawmakers’ control over the power of the federal purse.
Like the Orange Yutz said- he didn’t have to call an ‘Emergency’. He couldn’t get ghetto wall $$ in 2 years of GOP Congress! Now its an emergency?
The emergency will be when Mueller Report comes out. Ask sloppy steve, flynn, manafart and roger stoned… Brech
Bring it on dems. You may have won a few battles along the way but we will win the war
I don’t necessarily agree with the President about the need for a border wall, but really? Do the Democrats have an alternate version of the Constitution? POTUS may be wrong but he is completely within his Constitutionally mandated powers.
