WASHINGTON ― The Republican-led Senate looks poised to vote down President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to find funding to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Three Senate Republicans have publicly said they would vote for a resolution of disapproval, and another suggested he would. The Democratic-controlled House has scheduled a disapproval vote for Tuesday afternoon, and the measure is likely to pass. Once the Senate receives the bill from the House, any senator can bring it up for a vote after 15 days and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) can’t block it. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said voting down Trump’s national emergency declaration isn’t a question of supporting the president ― it’s about protecting Congress and its constitutional powers.
