In order to repeal a presidential veto requires two thirds of congress voting for it.
it was known that Trump wanted to ask the congress for additional 8.6 billion dollars, the equivalent of just over sek 80 billion, to finance the great wall on the southern border with Mexico, despite the fact that he during his election campaign promised that Mexico itself would stand for the cost of the wall, something Mexico has gone out and said that they refuse to do.
The additional 8.6 billion dollars are the foundation of the national state of emergency, which was launched by Trump and entered into force on 15th February.
