I don’t think there are 20 Republicans in the Senate who would vote to override. Or 60 or so Republicans who would do the same in the House.

[Major Matt Mason]

The GOP has the appearance of being a fraudulent party at this point (I'm excluding Trump, of course). The party has a platform, but they rarely fight for anything or show any real guiding principles at this point. And, on the rare occasions when they do put up a fake fight, the Democrats end up getting 75% or more of what they want. Obviously, we at FR have been referring to the two parties as the Uniparty for a while, but Trump has exposed just how lame and useless the GOP truly is.

Well Mitch is for the emergency and he holds the cards as to what bills come before the Senate. I don’t see Trump having to use his Veto power over this issue. My worry is the courts doing something stupid.

[aquila48]

That this is news boggles the mind.

He just declared the emergency and somehow he’s suddenly going to sign a stupid bill undoing that declaration??

[WHBates]

He has no choice, the Senate had 18 day to vote on it. It’s a privilege resolution, there may even be enough Republicans to pass it, but there is not enough votes to override a veto in either chamber.

[WHBates]

It’s how the original law is written. It’s congresses way to stop the ED.
