The
Senate voted 59-41 on Thursday to cancel President Donald Trump's national
security declaration to fund a wall on the border, picking up the support of
12 Republicans to put the measure over the top.
Trump
has vowed to veto the measure, which would block him from making an end run
around Congress to obtain billions of federal dollars to build the wall that
has been set aside for other purposes. The vote represents an unusual
bipartisan Senate rebuke to Trump's methods, which could play a role in
coming lawsuits against the emergency declaration.
