On Tuesday, Politico congressional correspondent Burgess Everett reported that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is planning to introduce a new resolution of disapproval against President Donald Trumps national emergency declaration at the southern border.
This will mark the second such vote in the Senate, as Democrats also forced one immediately after Trump declared the emergency. They have the power to force these votes every six months.
Voting against the new resolution could be especially awkward for Republicans, as the Trump administration just released a comprehensive list of the military projects being defunded to pay for the border wall many of which are in their own states.
The last time around, the resolution passed 59 to 41, with 12 Republicans voting to condemn the presidents emergency only to be stopped by Trumps veto.
