House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pledges to block Senate plan that could give GOP cover on Trump's national emergency
The House will not take up a Senate GOP bill that could give Republicans political cover as they vote on whether to block President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday.
The Senate will vote on the measure Thursday. While four Republican senators — enough to pass the bill in the Senate with a simple majority — have pledged to back it, some GOP lawmakers have reportedly looked for a way out of dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump. The resolution, which appeared to be a lock to pass the Senate, is less certain to pass now as Republicans seek alternatives.
"If Congress is troubled by recent emergency declarations made pursuant to the National Emergencies Act, they only have themselves to blame," he said in a statement Tuesday."Congress gave these legislative powers away in 1976 and it is far past time that we as an institution took them back."
