Senate Vote To Override Trump Emergency Declaration Veto Fails

President Trump issued a National Emergency Declaration in February to access government funds for a US-Mexico border wall, bypassing Congress. Both the House and Senate passed a resolution to overturn this declaration, but Trump vetoed it in September. An override attempt failed as it did not achieve the required two-thirds majority in the Senate. This marks the second unsuccessful attempt by Congress to terminate the emergency declaration. Lawmakers can force a new vote every six months as long as the emergency is ongoing.
