House Dems Prepare Measure to Block Trump's Nat'l Emergency
-----------------------------------------------------------

House Democrats are planning to introduce a resolution Friday to block
President Trump's national emergency declaration to construct a
U.S.-Mexico border wall. In the Senate, Republican Susan Collins of
Maine said on Wednesday she would support a resolution to halt the
emergency declaration. At least four senators from the Republican caucus
would have to join with all 47 Democratic caucus senators to achieve a
majority in the Senate that could pass such a measure.
