It looks like President Trump will be forced to use presidential veto powers for the first time since he took office if he wants to override Congress. Several Republican senators are bucking Trump on two different matters.
--The Senate passed the Yemen resolution, which was a chance to denounce Trump’s lackluster response to Saudi Arabia‘s murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by halting U.S. support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen, with seven GOP votes today.
--Tomorrow, an even larger number of Republican senators are expected to stand against Trump's proposal to declare an emergency at the U.S. / Mexico border in order to get more wall/security funding than Congress has allotted in the budget.
