But Democrats could not get enough GOP lawmakers to back the measure to override Trump's veto and block his national emergency declaration.
House Democrats' attempt to override President Donald Trump's first veto failed Tuesday, leaving the president's national emergency declaration in place for now.
Last month, Trump declared a national emergency to divert money already approved by Congress to the construction of his proposed border wall. Democrats and some Republicans worried about Trump circumventing the legislature's appropriations power after lawmakers passed only about $1.4 billion of the $5.7 billion the president sought for barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Ahead of the vote, Democrats tried to frame the resolution as a choice between their duties and allegiance to Trump. Trump hopes to use the declaration to secure $3.6 billion of the $8 billion total he wants to put toward barriers on the border. It would come from the Defense Department's military construction budget.
