'I think we do' have enough votes to put emergency termination on Trump's desk: Sen. Tammy Duckworth



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.

So glad Tammy is my Senator. Keep up the fight!

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
