niels reports on the white house. there is a resolution in the house to block president trump's emergency declaration. what would this do? niels: this is a joint resolution that would go through some expedited procedures seeking to block the emergency declaration itself. the national emergencies act provided a process for congress to disapprove of national emergencies like this one that president trump wants to use to reallocate money to build the wall that he desires at the border with mexico. this is an interesting instrument to use. not so much because of the house, were basically you could pass whatever you wanted if you are in the majority, but because it has expedited consideration in the senate, meaning that mitch mcconnell, the majority

leader over there, cannot necessarily block it from getting up on the floor. , this was also too referred to committee, but we are not going to have a hearing on this. what is going on there? niels: there is not going to be a hearing on this. as we understand, speaker pelosi told reporters this morning that this could be voted on on the house floor on tuesday. as of friday afternoon, it has been posted on a list of bills for potential floor consideration that may be considered pursuant to a rule on the floor of the house. -- of the house next week. i would anticipate that this measure is going to be on the agenda of the house rules committee. probably monday evening. stephanie: you mentioned that this has to be brought up in the senate. what are the votes going to look like, do you think? in the house and the senate? niels: the house, you are going

to see this legislation advance. it has 226 or so cosponsors already as of this afternoon. that is enough to pass. the question is how many republicans, once lawmakers get back into town, will decide to cross over and vote in favor in the house and the senate? we do expect that in the senate, susan collins, the maine republican, will support this measure. republican -- house republican in michigan has signed on to the resolution already. there will be some republican support. we would be looking to see it in either chamber we can get near the two thirds, 67 votes in the senate, needed to overcome a presidential veto because president trump has just

recently said 100% he will be to -- will veto this measure. stephanie: do you think there is a likelihood that this could pass both chambers? this is in any kind of posturing or holding a vote for political consideration? niels: this doesn't seem to be completely a showboat. there seems to be a real prospect that the measure could pass the senate. there is significant frustration from some senators and both parties over the emergency declaration, and doing an end run, particularly around the appropriations committee. but again, i don't know that we are going to see lawmakers, particularly senators get , anywhere near the two thirds margin that would be needed to overcome a veto. stephanie: as this develops, we will keep following you. at are reporting rollcall.com. thank you so much.
