The White House is defending the president's declaration to get funds to build the border wall and says Trump will protect it 'guaranteed'

Tuesday's vote marked the first time the House or Senate has tried to terminate a presidential declaration of a national emergency, using the provisions of the National Emergencies Act of 1976. Former Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., attempted a similar effort regarding a national emergency declared by then-President George W. Bush, but the measure never came to a vote on the House floor.

It’s no shocker that the Democratic House passed a resolution to block Trump’s national emergency.

It was totally expected:

The House has voted to overturn President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency for the border.

The vote was 245-182

All Democrats voted for the measure.

They were joined by 13 Republicans.

Now to Senate, where 

says they will vote on it.

They just got 13 Republicans to come over? Honestly I was expecting it might be larger number than that.

I’ll post their names as soon as the roll call vote is published.

Next, the Senate must take up the bill in the next 18 days. Democrats already have three Republican defections in the Senate. One more and they can put the bill on Trump’s desk for a veto. And if that happens and Trump vetoes it, the bill is effectively dead.

Democrats in Congress with the help of some Republicans moved forward in their effort to neutralize President Trump's national emergency declaration; chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel reports from Washington.
