A top adviser to President Donald Trump indicated Sunday that Trump is prepared to issue the first veto of his term if Congress votes to disapprove of his declaration of a national emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border.
White House senior adviser Stephen Miller told Fox News Sunday that the president is going to protect his national emergency declaration.
Asked if that meant Trump was ready to veto, Miller added, Hes going to protect his national emergency declaration, guaranteed.
Trump declared the emergency Friday in an effort to go around Congress to fund his border wall. It would allow him to move federal dollars earmarked for military construction to the border but is already facing legal and political challenges.

I believe that if it is passed in the house the senate is obligated to also vote on it.
Doesn’t it have to get past a republican majority senate for him to need to veto it?
Yes, it would be. It would be time to start over as a country. I wonder if there is enough of a survival instinct among the citizenry to take that step?
By all means, lets have a vote in the House and Senate.
Expose the RINOs and RATs for what they are.
Open border pimps.
Now, had he vetoed the BUDGET, yes, that would have been overridden.
I dont think so. Going on record to override a veto on that treasonous POS Bill? Unfortunately well never know.
If it is passed in the House the Senate would be “Obligated” to vote on it??? What Planet are you living on? Do you know how many resolutions and/or bills passed by the House have been Dead on Arrival in the Senate? There is a Graveyard in the Senate of House passed Resolutions and/or Bills.
I guess the Dems in the House could pass such a Resolution, but I suspect Mitch will never let it see the light of day in the Senate.
I suspect he will. The US Senate is the bottom of the beltway sewer and McConnell is only leader because he lets the mavericks roam.
You can tell which Senate dirtbags are going to run again. Rubio runs his mouth all the time underming POTUS. He’ll never face voters again. Rick Scott obviously is going to run again and chooses his words more wisely
Interestingly, Trump said that two caravans had been disrupted and a large caravan was in the process of being disrupted.
That was important news that has had zero coverage
We need a viable labor party. And I dont mean a union run labor party. Just a party of workers that believe in MAGA and think all immigration should stop for decades while we try to assimilate the ones we have..
We’re pretty close but I am afraid social issues will prevent that. More likely people will just disenage from politics. Which is exactly why Scum like Romney are constantly antagonizing Trump supporters.
Deporting the millions of parasites will make assimilation much easier
Deport 1 million and 9 million leave on their own.
Glad to hear that. The latest I heard was that the America-hating, illegal alien “advocates” had one ready to leave Honduras with 50,000 freeloaders in it. Sounds like an “emergency” to me.
AKA kickbacks it’s why they do nothing of worth for they are worthless and the Rino’s help pass the bills.
The House and Senate can pass a joint resolution withdrawing the Emergency Declaration. In other words they can pass a bill that says there is no emergency. If that bill is passed the President can veto it requiring a 2/3 majority of both houses to override.
veto is what Fox news interviewer and the article author are saying. They are pushing this narrative president will veto, but there is not yet any thing from the house - just their grumbling and trying to figure best way to thwart Trump’s declaration of emergency
I would be very happy if President Trump just wrote a big F.U. across the face of the resolution.
The original time frame is important as this was post Vietnam and Watergate so the law was passed by the treasonous (modern day copperhead) Democrats and signed by Carter. Yes the same ones the deserted the battlefield in Vietnam.
disrupted how exactly i wonder? just dispersed and those people still making their way in smaller groups?
