Donald Trump signs his first veto as president of the UNITED states to maintain a nødretstilstand at the border to Mexico.
Congress repealed the otherwise Thursday his decree on nødretstilstand, since a number of republican senators voted with their democratic colleagues to strip Trump of his emergency law at the border.
Congress has the freedom to adopt this resolution. And I have the obligation to veto it, ” said Trump, according to news agency AP.
the Signature that sealed the president’s veto, was put at a ceremony in The Oval Room.
With the ceremony had Trump his newly appointed attorney general, William Barr.
He assured that the nødretstilstanden “clearly is authorised according to the law”. The situation at the border is precisely such that nødretstilstand can be defended, he believes, according to CNN.
It is, however, many other lawyers and political opponents to Trump, which is disagree.
They believe that Trump has decreed nødretstilstand, because he could not get Congress to allocate money to build a wall along the entire border with Mexico.
With nødretstilstanden he can seize resources from other parts of the u.s. budget to build a wall.
With its veto puts Trump not only up against opponents from The Democratic Party.
he also compared to a group of republican politicians, who see it as a dangerous development, if the Congress is deprived of his constitutional right to determine what can be allocated money to the federal budget.
Only if two-third of the Congressional members voting against the president’s veto, it can be repealed, but it is hardly likely.
