(CNN) The House is expected to vote Tuesday to overturn President Donald Trump's emergency declaration to build a wall on the US southern border. The divided legislature rejected his proposal and the President eventually accepted its bill for $1.375 billion in border security measures. "I hope our great Republican Senators don't get led down the path of weak and ineffective Border Security," the President tweeted on Monday.
