Summary

“There is time for the president’s lawyers to take another look and determine whether we can both build the 234 miles of border wall that the president has requested and avoid this dangerous precedent,” Alexander said.Republicans have been looking for ways out of the fight with Trump, including talk of trying to amend the resolution to make it more palatable to their caucus and the president.Sen. Roy BluntRoy Dean BluntTrump applauded for walking away from 'bad' North Korea deal Pence meeting with Senate GOP ahead of vote to block emergency declaration Dems set to challenge Trump during his foreign trip MORE (Mo.), a member of GOP leadership, declined to say how he would vote, saying that he wanted to see what other "options" Republicans may have.But Republicans have acknowledged that the president will likely need to use his first veto if he's going to win the political fight with Congress.An attempt to override the president's veto is expected to fail in the House, where the initial vote fell short of the two-thirds that would be needed."My guess is there would probably be enough votes in the Senate to pass the disapproval," said Sen. John CornynJohn CornynGOP bristles over plan to shift military funding to border wall Julián Castro says his brother is weighing Senate bid Beto O'Rourke likely to announce presidential bid soon: report MORE (R-Texas).Trump has pledged that he will veto the resolution of disapproval if it gets to his desk and appeared to send a recent warning shot to Republicans thinking of voting against him.He characterized a vote for the resolution to block his emergency declaration as a “very dangerous thing” because it would undercut border security.“I really think that Republicans that vote against border security and the wall, I think you know, I’ve been OK at predicting things, I think they put themselves at great jeopardy,” he told Fox News's Sean Hannity.View the discussion thread.The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 faxThe contents of this site are ©2019 Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc.
