Democrats want to break Trumps Veto

U.S. Democrats do not want to accept the Veto of US President Donald Trump against a congressional Resolution to end the state of emergency in the wall to the dispute without a fight. The Chairman of the house of representatives, the Democrat Nancy Pelosi announced a vote in the chamber.

With the votes on 26. March you want to overrule the Veto of the Republican President – even if success is hardly realistic. The Chairman of the democratic minority in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, accused Trump in addition to the US Constitution with my feet.

In the dispute over the intended wall on the border to Mexico, Trump had filed on Friday, the first Veto of his term of office. Thus he prevented the Congress approved lifting the state of emergency on the border with Mexico, the Trump previously self-imposed. to override

a presidential Veto, both the house of representatives and in the Senate by a two-thirds majority is necessary. Such a majority is not currently in sight. Trump expressed confidence that it will not be able to overturn his Veto.

refusal of the funds

by Using the state of emergency Declaration to ensure the Republican President, the financing of the border wall without the consent of the Parliament. The Congress – the US Parliament – had denied the Trump desired funds for the construction of the wall. Then Trump called in the middle of February a state of emergency on the border.

On Thursday, the Republican-dominated Senate adopted a Resolution that the state of emergency should be terminated. In the chamber 12 of the 53 Republican senators voted in favor of the Democrats Resolution. The house of representatives, where Democrats have the majority, had decided to the Resolution by the end of February.

Trump wants pots and pans with the state of emergency Declaration, other money, especially at the Ministry of defence to tap in order to obtain additional billion for the construction of the wall. The Democrats keep the to be unconstitutional, because Congress is granting the funds is responsible. Also from the ranks of the Republicans, there is criticism of the fact that Trump bypasses the Congress.

Second setback of Trump within two days

Immediately after the vote in the Senate, Trump announced his intention to Veto – the first of its more than two years in office. Trump said on Friday: "Congress has the freedom to adopt this Resolution, and I have a duty, on the other hand a Veto. And I am very proud to be a Veto." The Resolution was irresponsible. Rarely have there been better reasons to declare a state of emergency. He stressed, once again, on the border with Mexico, there is a "Invasion". The border wall was a Central campaign promise Trumps.

The vote on Thursday was the second setback in two days for the President in the Senate. Only on Wednesday, the Senate had voted against the will Trumps a majority for a Resolution, with the help of the U.S. aid to Saudi Arabia led and highly controversial military operation in Yemen to stop. Seven Republican senators voted together with the Democrats and have obtained the required majority. A vote of the house of representatives is still - and Trump could appeal against this Resolution with a Veto.

trump's democratic predecessor, Barack Obama had inserted in his eight years in the White house a total of twelve times a Veto. The Constitution gives the U.S. President the right to prevent a Veto, the Congress adopted laws and resolutions in force. It is one of the most effective means of the President. (amc/sda)
