Measure To End Trump's Wall Emergency Clears Congress

Resolution certain to be vetoed by president; unlikely to receive enough support for congressional override.

The Republican-controlled Senate narrowly approved a resolution Thursday rescinding President Donald Trump's border wall national emergency declaration, setting up a presidential showdown.

Five Republican senators announced they would throw their support behind the resolution in the run-up to the vote in the chamber, where Republicans hold a 53-47 majority.

It had already cleared the House, and Trump has vowed to veto the measure should it reach his desk. -
