Neither the House nor the Senate are expected to have enough votes to overturn the president's veto.

Explanatory excerpt from an article in TheHill.com:

"The Senate and later the House voted last month to block Trump's national emergency declaration. The Senate voted 54-41 to block the national emergency, and the House voted 236-174, with 11 Republicans in each chamber voting with Democrats.

The measure was aimed at preventing the diversion of $3.6 billion for military construction projects toward the construction of Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border without congressional approval."

We really do have to replace the Bush League Republicans who have made a career of fundamentally transforming our country against our will.

I thought a judge blocked the use of Military Funds for the border wall

Of course. The Defense Budget is stuffed full of pork spending for their home districts. We pay billions for stuff the Military neither wants nor needs to keep the pork rolling into these clown’s districts. That why the Military has had no problem re-assigning the waste to a useful project at the border. This is also why the Congress clowns are so hysteric about Trump doing it.

I’m not sure they even really care either way. I think they just had to throw this out there to make themselves look good for going through the motions and trying. They full well knew he would not sign it before they ever started it.
