Congresswoman to introduce bill to prevent the president from declaring an emergency at the border

Government shutdown or not, most of Congress packed up Thursday afternoon at 4 and left for the weekend, so we’re not sure who’s going to be around when Rep. Grace Meng introduces her bill Friday to prevent President Trump from declaring a national emergency at the border.

Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) says she’ll be introducing a bill tomorrow that seeks to stop Trump from declaring a national emergency over the border

Um, good luck?

How would a bill like that work?

She didn't say! No bill text yet

How will a bill like that pass the senate and get signed by the president?

It won't!

So basically a waste of taxpayer resources. Sounds immoral.

Oh that’ll do it

Good, well @SenateDems will be ready to act on this legislation tomorrow, oh wait, they all went home for the weekend ?

I might just run for Congress instead of senate. Clearly there’s no IQ test. https://t.co/2ez0L5XDtP
