HOUSE TO VOTE ON “CANCELLING” TRUMP’S NATIONAL EMERGENCY ON WALL
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that the House will pass a resolution to cancel President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration to secure funds for a border wall.
Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Democrats including Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, who introduced the privileged resolution H.J.Res. 46, held a press conference calling on lawmakers in the Senate to also pass the resolution in order to “defend our democracy.” . . .
Congress can overrule a declared national emergency and House Democrats have enough votes to do so with a 235-197 majority.
After likely passing in the House on Tuesday, the bill is likely to face a challenge in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Because the bill is related to a national emergency the Senate must vote on it within 18 days and it cannot be blocked by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.
As a “privileged” legislation it needs only a simple majority of 51 votes to pass the Senate, where Democrats hold 47 seats.
Let your voice be heard–call your representative today at (202) 224-3121.

Father!! Help us here in these United States in which it appears to us all- these divided states. Lord, in Your word You always admonished your leaders to inquire of You for wisdom. We who are called by Your name stand in the gap for those leaders who are in our country-namely our congress- and ask that You impart Your conviction and wisdom on them in their hearts and have them vote Your will FOR and not against us and that they will also proclaim it boldly to our nation! We pray Your protection will be on us and our President, Vice-President and their loved ones In Jesus Name!
