Less discussion; more question about the "emergency."

[BadgerMom]

I try to stay well-informed, but I realize I've lost the narrative on the national emergency that Trump declared. Here's where I THINK we are:

Trump declared a national emergency at the border.
The House and the Senate voted to end the declaration of emergency.
Trump vetoed the bill.

So, what now? I'm sure the House will vote to override the veto. Maybe they already have? It looked as though the Republican Senate would remain the spineless bots they are. Has there been a vote? In either chamber?

Again, where are we and what happens next? Anyone know?

It seems as though this is important and, like so many other things, it's dropped off the radar. I'm asking because I wonder if it's time to raise our voices to our representatives on the issue.

1. House voted but did not override.

It goes to the courts now. The question will be whether he can use an emergency to subvert Congress' power of the purse.

3. Wow.

What Dems voted not to override? I’ll look that up.

And thanks.

4. All dems voted to override, but you need 2/3 of the House.

I think they only got about 6 Republicans.

6. Thanks.

Did my homework now. Looked it up.

2. Actually, the House voted to override the veto but it failed.

I don't think the Senate even has to vote on it now.

5. Thank you.

So disappointed.
