The House of Representatives failed Tuesday to overturn Donald Trump’s veto of a resolution nullifying the president’s declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. Just 14 Republican lawmakers joined Tuesday’s 248-181 vote, which failed to muster the two-thirds majority needed to override the first veto of Donald Trump’s presidency. Trump’s move to declare an emergency to circumvent Congress in order to pay for the wall still faces a number of legal challenges in federal court.
