Sen. Rand Paul said he vote to disapprove of Trump’s national emergency declaration on Saturday, clinching a bipartisan majority in opposition of the president’s move
Sen. Rand Paul says he will vote to disapprove of President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration, clinching a bipartisan majority in opposition of the president’s move to secure funding for a border wall.
“I can’t vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress,” Paul said at an event in Kentucky on Saturday, . “We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn’t authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it’s a dangerous thing.”Paul becomes the fourth Republican senator to pledge to vote for the disapproval resolution when it comes up for a vote in the Senate this month. Trump has vowed to veto the resolution, though both the House and Senate will lack the votes to override the veto.
