WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on Feb. 22 that he would “100 percent” veto a resolution terminating the national emergency declaration he signed a week ago. It’s unlikely the resolution would make it past the Senate, and if it did, it’s even less likely both houses would have a two-thirds majority to override a veto.
“We have too many smart people that want border security, so I can’t imagine if it survives a veto, but I will veto it,” Trump said. “Everybody knows we need border security. We need a wall. I think it’s a very bad subject for the Democrats. We need a wall. We’ve apprehended more people than we have in many, many years ... With a wall, we wouldn’t even have to apprehend them.”
