President Donald Trump vowed Friday that he will veto the resolution seeking to block him from declaring a national emergency, The Hill reports.
The president told the press that he will “100 percent” veto the measure, even if it manages to pass the Republican-controlled Senate.
“Will I veto it? One hundred percent. One hundred percent. And I don’t think it survives a veto. We have too many smart people that want border security, so I can’t imagine if it survives a veto, but i will veto it. Yes.”
Earlier on Friday, as Reuters news agency reported, House Democrats introduced a resolution seeking to block Donald Trump from declaring a national emergency.
Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas is sponsoring the legislation, and 226 House lawmakers have joined him. One Republican, Representative Justin Amash of Michigan, is co-sponsoring the legislation as well.
