The planned resolutions come as lawmakers weigh whether to pursue resolutions of disapproval on other topics where Trump has exercised executive powers aggressively.
President Trump shows a chart highlighting arms sales to Saudi Arabia during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on March 20, 2018, in the Oval Office.
An emergency declaration issued May 24 allowed President Trump to circumvent the normal process for congressional approval, letting the disputed sales go through immediately “in the national security interests of the United States.” The move angered lawmakers, who vowed to take legislative action to block the arms sales.
Menendez will be joined in the bid to reverse the administration action by Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina who is usually one of the president’s staunchest allies, as well as Democrat Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky, according to the person, who asked not to be identified before the move is announced.
The planned resolutions, reported Tuesday evening by the Washington Post, come as lawmakers weigh whether to pursue resolutions of disapproval on other topics where Trump has exercised executive powers aggressively.
