House Democrats are planning a March 26 vote to override President Trump’s veto of a bill that revokes his border wall emergency declaration.
A top Democratic aide confirmed the date to the Washington Examiner.
That date was revealed just before Trump was set to veto the bill to revoke his emergency declaration. Trump declared the emergency to authorize moving $3.6 billion from a military construction budget to an effort to construct physical barriers along the southern border.
The House override vote will likely fail. Only 13 Republicans voted in favor of the resolution to revoke the national emergency, and about 50 Republicans would have to vote with Democrats to provide the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.
The White House spent the last several weeks tweeting out examples of why there is a national emergency at the border, in a bid to defeat the bill aimed at nullifying his declaration.
