Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., said Sunday on "This Week" that she believes there is enough support in Congress to put forth a resolution to terminate President Donald Trump's national emergency at the Southern border.
"Frankly, I think there's enough people in the Senate who are concerned that what he's doing is robbing from the military and the [Department of Defense] to go and build this wall," Duckworth told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.

But Duckworth added she isn't certain there are enough votes in Congress to override an expected presidential veto of such a resolution.

I am glad she is in the Senate!
I hope she's right about the resolution but I also hope there will be enough who will vote to over-ride a VETO.

This isn't about stopping the emergency declaration, I think the courts will do that. But make repervs go on the record supporting this imperial presidency

"Terminated with extreme prejudice" when the young captain was sent to find the insane, rogue Captain Kurtz.
