Are they voting to cancel the National Emergency? Is it that easy to do? Organize a vote and poof thats that? [/quote] Yes.. it already passed the House and appears the Senate will have the votes to cancel the Nation Emergency. BUT.... Trump will veto and then required 2/3 vote to override the Veto. At this point does not appear to happen, but could change after a veto. I just find this amazing though.. all of the sudden they have the votes to override a filibuster?? Unless filibuster does not apply to declaration votes? Anybody know this? [/quote] Wow.. that is the case: The Senate must vote on the measure,[b] which cannot be filibustered, because the National Emergencies Act of 1976 [/b]requires such votes to be fast-tracked. [/quote] So lets get this straight-- they cant pass a bill for a wall because of the filibuster-- but can overturn the wall without a filibuster. WTF senate rules.... [/quote] You have to remember, [b]"THEY"[/b] are the ones who make the rules...everything you witness is because that is the way [b]"THEY"[/b] want it. [/quote]

Republicans are predicting that Thursday’s showdown vote will result in Congress sending Trump a resolution blocking the border emergency he proclaimed last month to steer an extra $3.6 billion to building border barriers.
Since the Democratic-controlled House approved the measure last month, the Senate vote would force Trump to use a veto to protect his presidential campaign’s “Build the Wall” mantra over objections from his own party...."
