Schumer: We Will Force a Vote to Terminate Trump’s Emergency Declaration

During a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that Democrats will force a vote to terminate President Trump’s national emergency declaration within the next month.

Schumer said, “As stipulated by the National Emergencies Act, Democrats will once again force a vote to terminate the president’s national emergency declaration. The provisions of the national emergency act dictate that the resolution of disapproval be privileged, and therefore must be voted upon.”
