that this vote, even though the veto won t be overridden, the fact that the house and the senate voted resolutions of disapproval does further the argument that congress did not intend for it to go this way. there s landowners, various states. there s no question this will get a hearing in the court. we ll have to wait to see what happens. assuming that someone, some judge, particularly in the ninth circuit out west, decides to stay the president s declaration, it will go all the way to the supreme court, which make this a hot issue as we head into the 2020 general election campaign. shepard: which is rather convenient for someone running on this topic a long time. that s right. in fairness to the president, he made this a major article of faith between him and his supporters in the 2016 election. win or lose
a house democratic aide said the house vote to overright the veto is likely to occur on tuesday, march 26 and the senate democratic leader said his side is not giving up. the president will veto it. it goes to the house. he won t have the 2/3s. but i believe the law allows us to bring it up every six months. certainly we would intend to do that. the house vote was 40 votes shy of the threshold. it would seem like that many would flip their votes in the coming ten days or so. this could signal to the base they re doing everything possible to fight the president on his border wall, shep. shepard: how are republicans dealing with this divide? as you mentioned, there are 12 senate republicans that voted against the president on this. one being roy blunt from missouri who says there s several existing authorities that could be used to support what president trump wants to do at the border without creating a court case or declaring an emergency. i have encouraged him to use
override the president s veto. there s no plans for a similar vote in the senate. we should point out as welsh ed, president is going to have parents with him in the white house, parents of people who have been killed by people in this country illegally. he wants to drive home the point that he believes there is an emergency on the southern border that requires emergency action. ed? ed: he s digging in on that no doubt. thank you, john. meanwhile, this fox news alert on the crisis in venezuela. american allies suspending flights to the country because of security concerns. this after the pilots union told its members to refuse to go there. american had been the last u.s. carrier flying to venezuela. high profile companies cutting ties with a social media star after her family is dragged into the college admissions scandal. we ll look at the first battle scars of the 2020 campaign. ouch. giant bandage for bernie. what happened? we ll tell ya. plus, beto o rourke making a lot
is coming in and out of our country and what drugs or people or elicit materials are coming across the border is real. we need to take serious action against it. the president s order does that. the house has planned an override vote. that will be march 26. they likely don t have the 2/3s majority needed to override the veto. there s no plans for a veto override vote in the senate. so what the house will be going through is just an exercise. it s a big moment for the president. it s his first veto of the administration. this is how he stacks up compared to previous presidents. president obama vetoed 12 bills. one was overriden. george w. bush had 12. four were overridden. bill clinton had 47. and president reagan 78 with nine overridden. all of that pales in comparison
no. under normal circumstances, that is that. not in this case. the president is trying to go around them. they say the republicans that voted against him say this could set a dangerous precedent for future presidents. both the house and the senate came up short of the votes they need to override a presidential veto. so the question now, one that we ve been pondering many months, will the courts end up deciding whether president trump s national emergency declaration is okay under the guidelines of the constitution. let s turned to chris wallace. you know, it s no surprise that we re here. just the question is, who has standing will bring a suit, where and when. well, there s plenty of people that have standing. one question is whether or not congress has standing because they can say that this is not money that we appropriated and that you have decided to use it over our objections and the fact
