By Jordain Carney - 02/20/19 05:20 PM EST
GOP Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) on Wednesday said that she would support a resolution to block President Trump's emergency declaration to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Collins, speaking to reporters in Maine, said that she would support a resolution of disapproval that was focused on the emergency declaration, which she has described as being of "dubious constitutionality."
“If it’s a ‘clean’ disapproval resolution, I will support it,†she told reporters, according to the Associated Press
A spokeswoman for Collins didn't immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
But Collins has spoken out strongly against Trump's actions, arguing that the National Emergencies Act wasn't meant to be used to shuffle around money to build a border wall.
