House votes to block Trump's national emergency declaration, putting pressure on Senate GOP

The House voted Tuesday to block President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration, rebuking the president and pressuring Senate Republicans. Democrats easily passed the resolution in a 245-182 vote. Thirteen House Republicans joined them. The measure would terminate the action Trump took to secure billions of dollars to build his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

In addition, numerous U.S. states and several independent groups have already filed lawsuits challenging the emergency declaration. Trump believes the Supreme Court will ultimately rule in his favor. The White House aims to secure $8 billion to build border barriers by circumventing Congress. He will use the emergency declaration to draw $3.6 billion from the Department of Defense's military construction funds. With other executive actions, he plans to divert $2.

My Goodness...bite the hand that feeds you...lol

Idiots

Trump will veto the bill anyway!

Trump will veto regardless and it will not be overridden so it’s a moot point. Tend to remember Dems criticizing GOP for raising issues they knew wouldn’t pass. Hypocrites

hahaha....go for it...

The Scarecrow strikes again. Revenge politics.........

TeamPelosi is utterly disgraceful

When are the democrats going to start working and negotiating in the interest of the people. This legislation is not it.

Senate GOP: Do not worry: SpeakerPelosi/Co pressure has got up & left the house with AOC & those 'Freshmen'. God only knows where they are & what they are up to now. But no pressure left in the HOUSE.

The fact that they have the votes should come as a surprise to no one. They own the House. Not sure why that puts pressure on Senate GOP.

She brings back all the shittttty again. This time government shutdown. PPL knows what's party to vote for 2020. Ok guys.

GOP needs to do the right thing, impeach Nancy now!

Creepy Nancy fighting hard for open boarders. Democrats are Anti-American

It’s not going to do anything, realDonaldTrump already said he’s going to veto it. TheDemocrats do something that will actually work, I’ve lost all faith in Democrats.

Best of luck getting the Senate GOP a spinal transfusion

CNN fake news no border voter fraud

You Republicans who voted against the President, I hope your voters remember your betrayal and cowardice.
