US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress will use the funding process to counter Trump's ambitions to build a border wall after House comes up short on veto
"Build the wall" was one of US President Trump's signature campaign pledges in his first run for office in 2016.
The outcome, not a surprise, enabled Trump to move forward on an issue that was a hallmark of his 2016 presidential campaign and of his presidency. "We take an oath that we must honour" to protect the Constitution," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "The choice is simple, between partisanship and patriotism."Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, called Trump's declaration "constitutional vandalism."
Rep. Paul Mitchell , R-Mich., called the veto override effort "a partisan whack job" because of its certain defeat. Democrats were hoping to use the border emergency battle in upcoming campaigns, both to symbolise Trump's harsh immigration stance and claim he was hurting congressional districts around the country.
