Dems prepare next steps after Trump's veto

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democrats are planning a vote that aims to override President Trump's veto of legislation blocking his emergency declaration, an effort that's all but certain to fail.

The House will hold a veto-override vote on March 26, shortly after lawmakers return from a weeklong recess, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Friday. The measure is unlikely to garner the necessary two-thirds majority, given that only 13 House Republicans joined with Democrats in support of a resolution last month to block Trump's emergency declaration to build a border wall.

And even though 12 Senate Republicans joined all Democrats to send the measure to Trump's desk, eight more would have to defect in that chamber to override the veto, the first of Trump's presidency.

Even if they can't force Trump to revoke the national emergency, Democrats are hoping to highlight the constitutional questions surrounding Trump's declaration and the infighting it's prompted within the GOP.
