Before a vote on a resolution to overturn President Trump’s dec- laration of a national emergency, Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked House Republicans if they took their oath from Mr. Trump or “the Consti- tution of the United States?” The measure passed and goes to the Sen- ate.
The House voted on Tues- day to overturn President Donald Trump’s declara- tion of a national emergency on the Mexican border, with just 13 Republicans joining Democrats to try to block his effort to divert funding to a border wall without congres- sional approval.
House Republican leaders kept defections low after feverishly working to assuage concerns among rank-and- file members about protect- ing congressional powers and about the precedent that Mr. Trump could be setting for Democratic presidents to use for their own purposes.
“Is your oath of office to Donald Trump or is it to the Constitution of the United States?” Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked her Re- publican colleagues in a speech on the floor ahead of the vote. “You cannot let him undermine your pledge to the Constitution.”
The resolution of disap- proval, which passed 245 to 182, must now be taken up by the Senate, where three Republicans have already de- clared their support, only one short of the number needed for Congress to ratify a sting- ing rebuke of President Donald Trump’s efforts.
Barack Obama's '44' Bomber Jacket Wins Praise On Twitter, Has Fans Asking Where It Came From
Former President Barack Obama at the Duke vs. N. C. game in his ‘44’ bomber jacket.
Michelle Obama may have some new competition in the best-dressed lists she fre- quently graces — and from close to home. In recent days, President Barack Obama had fans and fashionistas alike going wild over his latest look: a black bomber jacket embroidered with “44” on the left sleeve.
On Wednesday night, the 44th commander in chief sat courtside at the buzzed-about basketball game between Duke University and the Uni- versity of North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and soon scored style points for the outerwear.
