The U.S. Senate voted on Sept. 25 to pass a Democrat-sponsored bill to block President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration over the southern border for a second time. However, the chamber failed to get the necessary two-thirds majority needed to overcome the president’s veto power.
The Senate voted 54-41 to end the emergency declaration, and 11 Republicans joined Democrats. In March, the Senate made a similar attempt but also failed to reach the two-thirds majority, prompting Trump to veto the bill.
