Senate Votes to End Emergency Border Wall Funding
« on: September 25, 2019, 07:43:39 pm »
The U.S. Senate voted 54-41 Wednesday to end President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency and stop the diversion of military funds to pay for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, setting up another veto showdown.

The Senate first voted in favor of ending the emergency declaration in March, by a margin of 59-41. At least a dozen Republican Senators went against the president during and supported blocking his use of emergency powers.

However, Trump vetoed that vote and the House was unable to override him. He is expected to issue another veto of Wednesday’s vote.

Mr. Trump had better veto this.
I don't think there are enough foolish Republicans in the Senate to sustain an override.

I think that it's likely that he'll veto it again. But the way things are going who knows..
