Shit, the v and b keys are right next to each other too.Wouldn't it have been funny if he had misspelled this as "BETO!"?
Pretty decent chance the next president will be a democrat and if this somehow gets through the courts, it gives us a ton of power. Not power the president really should have, mind you.I'm amazed that *this* is the issue some in his party are suddenly ready to stop carrying water for Trump over.

Because at least some of them understand the precedent this sets for a future Dem president.I'm amazed that *this* is the issue some in his party are suddenly ready to stop carrying water for Trump over.
Others maybe thinking there won't be another Dem president.Because at least some of them understand the precedent this sets for a future Dem president.

You just know he wants to make it so he can get multiple terms after two or lifelong presidencyIf he vetos it, then he opens it up for the next Democratic President to declare a national emergency when needed.

Sen @BenSasse, says of his NO vote on the resolution to terminate the emerg decl: "I think (the National Emergencies Act of 1967) is overly broad and I want to fix it, but at present Nancy Pelosi doesn't, so I am therefore voting against her politically motivated resolution."

Wait, I thought the Senate couldn't vote on something that they knew Trump would Veto! /s
why couldn't he stop this vote?Unfortunately for the Turtle, he couldn't stop this vote.
Trust me, if he could have, he would have.

The nature of the Emergency Declaration legislation passed all the way back in 1974 requires the Senate to take up the "revoke" vote if the House passes it.

I look forward to VETOING the just passed Democrat inspired Resolution which would OPEN BORDERS while increasing Crime, Drugs, and Trafficking in our Country. I thank all of the Strong Republicans who voted to support Border Security and our desperately needed WALL!

So Republicans aren't gonna say shit when the next Democratic President declares a National Emergency on Climate Change, Healthcare, and Guns, right? Right?

Voting to weaken your own power to own the libs.41 Republican Senators voted in favor of letting the President circumvent the constitution.

They see it, they love the fact he's a belligerent idiot.
They can try but it will never pass the house.Basically they will use this to get his way once he vetoes it, and they vote to close the loophole that allows this in future if democrats ever try to do something similar

Well, currently they don't have a choice, unless a new bill passes, which is unlikely due to the Dems holding the house.Oh fuck off, "we're gonna let this Emergency through but no more after that!" These people are fucking spineless weasels
