WASHINGTON—The Senate passed a privileged resolution to terminate President Donald Trump’s national border emergency declaration by a vote of 59-41 on March 14 under the premise there is no emergency and the president is overreaching.

Twelve Republicans joined all 47 Democrats to pass the measure: Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Sen. Susan Collins (R-Me.), Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Sen. Patrick Toomey (R-Miss.), and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.)
