It appears President Donald Trump is going to have to veto bipartisan legislation that would stop his border security national emergency declaration.

The straightforward joint resolution disapproving of the emergency declaration appears to have reached the threshold of support needed to pass the Senate.

While not unexpected, Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul made that clear during remarks Saturday at a GOP Lincoln Day Dinner that’s a fundraiser for the Warren County Republican Party.

“I can’t vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress,” Paul said, according to the Bowling Green Daily News. “We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn’t authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it’s a dangerous thing.”

The newspaper reported that Paul’s remarks were otherwise favorable toward the president.
