The House of Representatives voted against the emergency regime in the United States

The House of US representatives voted against the proposal of President Donald Trump to introduce a state of emergency on the border of the United States and Mexico.

The resolution blocking the initiative of Trump was approved by 245 lawmakers. 182 members of the House of Representatives voted against. Most of them are Republicans, writes New York Times. 13 Republicans voted for blocking Trump's proposals. Among them, Will Hurd from Texas is the only republican legislator representing the area on the border of the States and Mexico.

Now the document must consider the Senate. If he refuses to approve the initiative of the American president, Trump can impose a veto decision on this and thus protect his decision to introduce an emergency. A similar scenario was previously allowed by Senior Advisor to President Stephen Miller in an interview with Fox News. Later, Trump himself promised to do this.

To cancel the veto president, the congressmen will need two -thirds of the vote both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate.

Trump announced the introduction of an emergency in mid -February. This will allow him to increase the amount of allocation for the construction of barriers on the border with Mexico, since the draft budget, which is considered in the congress, allocated only $ 1.375 billion instead of $ 5.7 billion for these purposes, which the president insists on.

The leader of the democratic minority in the Senate Chuck Schumer said that "the introduction of an emergency regime on a national scale is lawlessness."

Earlier, due to the refusal of the Congress, to allocate the funds requested by Trump for the construction of barriers on the border with Mexico in the United States, Shatdown began-suspending the work of state institutions due to lack of funding. He lasted a record 35 days. On Friday, Trump signed a draft budget, which will make it possible to finance state structures before the end of the financial year.
