President Trump is facing a potential revolt among Senate Republicans over his decision to declare a national emergency to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) public announcement over the weekend that he will oppose Trump’s declaration ensures a resolution blocking it will be approved by the Senate after already passing the House — unless Senate Republicans can find some kind of last-minute way out of the showdown.
Republicans have been hunting for a way out of a fight over the declaration that has badly fractured the caucus, but Paul’s decision underscores the difficulty leadership faces in finding a successful exit strategy.

Just when I was getting to like Rand Paul!
any GOPe voting against this will LOSE his/her seat, the public will NOT STAND for anybody interfering with a president trying to defend our country!
and it is both fully constitutional and in complete compliance with statutory authorization as previously passed by Congress
all this bullsheit is, well, foolish bullsheit
Trump is on the brink of a veto that can’t be overridden
I hope you’re right!
I haven’t seen the public do much in that arena lately.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
But sometimes it rolls down the hill and ends up in the gutter.
i am pretty darned sure i am right
we will see
i do realize that much of the public is almost terminally passive, which is why politicians keep getting away with screwing us all
So now do all the shrieking Ann Coulter types understand Trump can’t “just do it”??
Direct your shrieking at the phony Republicans
I do hope you are right!
The traitor Republicans need to have ICE raid their donor’s businesses.
Looking from out/in it seems to me that if you have one democrat in the house and one the senate, and the rest are republicans, democrat party wins every important vote?
House will not be able to override. Story ends until USSC overturns the National Emergency Act.
Bush League Republicans have made a career out of blocking the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
They are not going to allow us to stop it, much less reverse it unless they are removed from office.
In 2020, these Senators must be replaced with patriots who side with the citizens and the rule of law:
Gardner, McSally, Daines, Collins, Cornyn, Capito, Enzi, Rounds, Graham, Tillis, Sasse, Hyde-Smith, McConnell.
right on!
(and include some Moslem terrorists too)
I call BS, The SHill takes pleasure in amplifying anti-Trumpism.
The move is immensely popular with the voters.
They can’t override Trump’s veto, and this will help primary another batch of globalists.
So far I have only heard of four traitors, Murkowski, Collins, Tillis and Paul. Four does not a rebellion make.
The turd didn’t fall far from the bull.
GOPe cannot veto the Constitution.
Veto has NOTHING to do with it.
President builds The Wall. Period.
GOPe can go back to their foreign lands.
National Emergency Act has nothing to do with it.
Quit parroting their false premises.
A legislative Act has nothing to do with it.
President builds The Wall. The only way to stop the President is Abolish the Constitution.
