Senate passes measure blocking Pres. Trump from using emergency powers to raid budget for military construction projects to pay for his proposed border fence. 11 Republicans voted to rebuke the president, though the measure is doomed to be vetoed.
Eleven Republicans voted to rebuke the president on a 54-41 vote. The Democratic-controlled House is likely to pass the measure, but it's doomed to be vetoed by Trump.
Wednesday's vote follows the recent release by the administration of a list of 127 military construction projects totaling $3.6 billion that will be canceled in order to pay for the border wall. Democrats opposed to Trump's moves didn't pick up any additional GOP supporters this time.
