In a bipartisan rebuke, the Senate passed a resolution 59-41 terminating his emergency declaration on Thursday.
For the first time in his presidency, President Donald Trump issued a veto on Friday, preventing Congress' attempt to terminate his national emergency declaration seeking to circumvent lawmakers and appropriate billions of dollars for his southern border wall.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement that the chamber will vote March 26, after Congress returns from recess, to vote on overriding Trump's veto. The Republican senators who rebuked Trump were unwavering in their justification, saying Thursday they viewed the unilateral move as unconstitutional and creating a dangerous precedent for future presidents. They continued to reiterate that a vote for the resolution was not a rebuke to Trump personally, but rather a condemnation of the president's attempt to bypass Congress.
Trump is seeking a total of $8 billion for his wall: $1.375 billion approved by Congress, $600 million from the Treasury Department's drug forfeiture fund, $2.5 billion from the Defense Department’s drug interdiction efforts and roughly $3.5 billion from Department of Defense military construction.
