The House and Senate need a two-thirds majority vote to override Trump’s veto. Currently, both chambers do not have that support.
Democrats will challenge Trump’s national emergency declaration in courts
On Monday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned that Democrats will do everything to prevent Trump’s national emergency declaration. She said, “We’ll fight him in the Congress, we’ll fight him in the courts and we’ll fight him in the court of public opinion. What he’s doing is wrong and the Republicans know it.”
Last month, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Xavier Becerra vowed to sue President Donald Trump for declaring a national emergency to build a border wall. They argue that the executive action is unconstitutional.
