Republican senators would give majority against emergency of Donald Trump

At least four Republicans would vote along with the Democratic minority in the United States Senate to cancel the declaration of national emergency, made by President Donald Trump last February. The Republicans who would give a simple majority to the Democrats in the upper house to bring down Trump's emergency would be: Rand Paul, senator for Kentucky Susan Collins, for Maine Lisa Murkowski, for Alaska Thom Tillis, for North Carolina Other Republicans, such as Martha McSally, for Arizona, and Roy Blunt, for Missouri, said they are evaluating their votes in the Senate, according to the report. All the Republicans I know condemned the use of the executive power of President (Democrat Barack) Obama. The only way to be an honest official is to defend the same principles, no matter who is in power, "Paul said. The US president seeks to divert funds assigned to other agencies to build a wall on the border with Mexico, in order to evade control of funds that corresponds to Congress, after a bipartisan agreement to approve the budget for the rest of the year excluded funds orders by Trump. The resolution that the Senate will vote on was pushed and approved last week in the House of Representatives, under Democratic control, in order to end with the declaration of emergency that the president made on February 15. Senate against Trump The ratification of the proposal does not guarantee the end of the emergency decreed by Trump, who has veto power, although Congress would send a powerful message to the president to claim his powers of control. The debate on Trump's decree is arduous, because it is the first time that an emergency declaration is made to try to obtain funds that Congress had already denied. The Senate is controlled by the Republicans, who have 53 seats against 47 of the Democrats, but the opposition is expected to vote en bloc, and it seems guaranteed that at least four Republicans will join for a majority. The leader of the Republican majority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, acknowledged that there are enough votes to block the presidential decree, and said that despite being against the national emergency, will support Trump.
