The Votes Are In: House Votes to Overturn Trump's National Security Declaration [Updated]

This vote in the house and then the senate supersedes and makes unnecessary any court action. The judiciary has no standing since the congress represents the states and the people and is the check and balance against presidential power.

In short Trump, after the state acts, should tell the judiciary they have no standing.

[morphing libertarian]

How many votes to override a presidential veto in the house? In the senate?

[papertyger]

The same congressional Republicans who joined me in blasting Pres. Obama’s executive overreach now cry out for a king to usurp legislative powers. If your faithfulness to the Constitution depends on which party controls the White House, then you are not faithful to it.

Try that line at a town hall meeting of your constituents, congressman.

all DEmocrats yes + GOP Amash

All other Republicans vote no.

[Publius]

Two thirds vote in both Houses necessary to override.

[Jet Jaguar]

All show. Does not matter.

[doorgunner69]

Of course they love them, they unfailingly vote democrat!

[jazusamo]

290 in the House, 67 in the Senate.

The Rats don’t have them.

[morphing libertarian]

yeah looks bad for the bad guys

When the dems go to court, the judge should laugh and say you had your shot.

[jazusamo]

No, there were 13 GOP yes votes but Amash was the leader of them.

[papertyger]

This whole fiasco reminds me of the notorious “Boland Ammendment” that congress used to usurp Presidential power from Reagan.

Neither side wanted to challenge it in the SCOTUS, but the traitorous media couldn’t screech loud enough how “the President was breaking the law” to their sheep.

[Celtic Conservative]

Amash is a loose cannon. And every once in awhile he sends friendly fire on his own party. He’s really just a small “L” libertarian who caucuses with the GOP.

[SMGFan]

so sorry , I did request delete of double post error incorrect.

[jazusamo]

No problem, nothing to be sorry for.

[piytar]

290 in the House plus 67 in the Senate to overturn a veto. They do not have enough in the House let alone the Senate.

[Jonny7797]

McCarthy is also trash. Only talks tough about the wall now that the dems have voted against the emergency order...

[Jonny7797]

I know, it’s very shocking.

[bigbob]

Not a sngle one of those bastards should be allowed one minute of peace. Flood their offices with calls and emails and make them wonder if they will get out of town hall meetings in their districts with their heads attached.

“Pres. Obama’s executive overreach now cry out “

Oh yeah, the executive branch has absolutely no interest in doing anything with something like an international border.
