A House Resolution aimed at derailing President Trump’s border wall by challenging his emergency declaration was inroduced Friday. With a majority of the house signed on as sponsors, the measure is almost certain to pass.

The resolution from Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, whose brother Julian is running for president, enjoys overwhelming support from fellow majority Democrats in the House. He announced overnight the measure had 222 cosponsors, slamming what he dubbed the “FakeTrumpEmergency” and the border wall the president wants to fund. By Friday morning, Castro said he’d picked up several more supporters, including Republican Rep. Justin Amash.
“[Trump] is dishonoring the office in which he serves,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said on a press call with Castro.
The level of support for the resolution all but guarantees it will pass the House. But there is a chance the Republican-controlled Senate could follow suit.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said earlier this week she’d support such a measure. Several other Republicans have voiced concern over the president’s declaration – raising the possibility the measure could clear the chamber. Such a scenario would expose a striking fracture in the party over the president’s decision, while likely compelling Trump to issue the first veto of his administration – one likely to be sustained.
