IF the Senate wants to regain their power as a part of the third branch of government

they will override Trump's veto of whatever bipartisan CR is sent to Trump that he refuses to sign. If they don't reign him in now, they may as well pack up and go home and stay there and let Trump and the House battle it out. The entire GOP has given up their power to the con man in the White House. They ought to be ashamed but they are not.

He'd have the Senate to blame for overriding his veto. He can still say wants the Wall.

who will retain the power to uphold any Trump veto, I can’t imagine that group ever standing up to Trump.
