President DonaldTrump issued a fresh veto threat as the Senate appeared poised to pass a measure rebuking him over his national emergency declaration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Washington - President Donald Trump issued a fresh veto threat Thursday morning as the Republican-led Senate appeared poised to pass a measure rebuking him over his national emergency declaration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump declared the national emergency on February 15 as a way to circumvent Congress and get the money he wants to build barriers along the southern border. On Wednesday, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who was leading an effort to craft a compromise aimed at curtailing presidential emergency powers in the future, became the latest Republican to announce plans to defect and vote for a resolution to nullify Trump's declaration when it comes to the floor on Thursday.
