Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he expects his chamber will have the votes to pass a resolution blocking President Trumps national emergency declaration, but an effort to override a presidential veto will fail in the House. I think what is clear in the Senate is that there will be enough votes to pass the resolution of disapproval, which will then be vetoed by the president and then in all likelihood the veto will be upheld in the House, McConnell said Monday. He said the Senate vote would happen before the lawmakers go on a one-week recess March 15.

Different rules apply to a resolution. Mitch can’t block a resolution from coming to a vote.
I am somewhat in despair this morning after reading that McConnell is doing his lowlife best to quash Trump's emergency declaration. I really would like to stomp this turd, this traitor, and wipe the smile off his chelonian face.
Another disappointment: Why didn't he end the war with North Korea? It's been an amnesty since 1953. He could've given a real nice speech about DDE warning about the military-industrial complex.
With the wall situation and the National Emergency not being done then, I'm baffled. It's almost like it's us supporters who are being played. First he didn't demand that Paul Ryan include it in that God-awful budget President Trump signed. Then he didn't do that EO when the 'pubs had lost the majority but the dems still hadn't taken over.
For the military side (Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and International Military Education and Training (IMET)), the State Department and the Defense Department control the disposition of funds provided to them by - Congress.
There are also Justice Dept, DHS, DEA and a whole host of other alphabet agencies providing funding for both classified and unclassified ventures. Congress controls all the funding. Oversight of the classified projects is limited to the members of Congress on the Intelligence Committees.
McConnell should realize that Congress voting for disapproval of Trump’s National Emergency act is all the excuse John Roberts needs to uphold the inevitable 9th Circuit injunction.
McConnell has to get the Senate to vote Trump’s way.
Where is Manchin on this issue?
Don forget the hoots of derision for the NEA Four
Yeah other than the tax cut and federal judges what has the GOP done for the last two years except cause more problems than the Democrats for Trump?
Trump putting conservative judges in the courts is the ONLY reason I have to vote R in November. The GOP is with a doubt the biggest bunch of useless cowards to ever suck air in a pair of lungs.
At some point the GOP must die, it refuses to change from the Metoo party and btw, we are the stupid party too, vote for us!
Which demonrat Senators from Trump states are coming up for re-election next year? Will their puppet master Schumer allow any of them to vote against the resolution in order to keep their seats? Joe Manchin was allowed to vote to confirm Kavanaugh last year in order to keep his Senate seat.
They’ll probably support the ‘Green New Deal” next.
The GOP establishment has to show their allegiance to the Open Borders Lobby.
Unfortunately the NEA Four will provide the needed cover for the Ds
Idiots. Why didn’t they challenge Obama when he did it?
I believe several groups have already filed briefs in the 9th Circuit.
Remember though Trump has seated 2-3 new judges in the ninth circuit now. I believe the Court is tied with judges appointed by both Rep and Dem presidents now.
Burr’s not in there? That’s a shocker.
Mitch taking up with his fellow Open Borders RINOs at the direction of their USCoC masters.
This kind of crap is why I quit giving to the Republican party. I only give to candidates or organizations that I believe in.....The GOP has too many deadbeats.
Can a resolution be binding?
It’s not legislation, and it does not not have the votes to override a veto by President Trump.
Kabuki theater.
