Trump says he’ll veto attempt to stop wall

President Trump said Friday he will veto any attempt to block his wall-building border emergency declaration, and said he can’t see any way Congress musters the votes to override him.

His comments came hours after Democrats announced legislation to try to block the emergency declaration. A vote in the House will happen Tuesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

“Will I veto it? One-hundred percent,” the president said.

He said he doubts Congress would be able to overturn his veto, which would mean his plans would stick — barring any legal setbacks.

Congress last week approved just $1.375 billion for border wall construction this year, which is far less than the president had sought.

I heard today, on a news blurb that an attempt to block an Executive Order by Congress is unprecedented.
