J. Res. 46, a Resolution of Disapproval regarding President Trump's manufactured and unnecessary national emergency declaration. Yarmuth, a cosponsor of the resolution, voted in support of the measure, which passed the House by a vote of 245-182. President Trump may not fully understand the Constitution, but it is still his sworn duty to uphold it. Declaring a fake national emergency to fulfill a campaign promise on a border wall is not only a subversion of the will of Congress and the American people, it is also unconstitutional. I am proud to have stood with a majority of members of the House of Representatives today Democrats and Republicans alikein exercising and defending Congress's authority over the power of the purse. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
