GOP turns on Trump: Senate votes 59-41 to repeal declaration of an emergency at the border with Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney leading 12-strong Republican rebellion
A dozen Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to repeal the declaration of an emergency at the border
The 59-41 defeat is the most serious rebuke of his presidency but Trump immediately tweeted: 'VETO!'
The president also sent out a fundraising email asking if he should veto
Trump warned lawmakers they'll have to go through him to end his border emergency
Nancy Pelosi immediately signed the legislation, sending it to the president's desk where he has ten days to sign it or veto it
Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called it a 'red-letter day in the history of how the United States functions' as he rallied senators to vote the emergency down
