The president told Senate Republicans he would not agree to curtail his powers in order to stem defections on the disapproval vote
President Donald Trump scuttled a final effort by Senate Republicans to avoid an intraparty clash on his emergency declaration this week, a move that could juice the number of GOP senators that vote to rebuke Trump on the floor.
The move sparked the second blow of the day for Senate Republicans searching for peace with the White House. Earlier Wednesday, Democratic leaders moved to box in Republicans by publicly declaring that the GOP effort to curtail the presidential use of future emergencies would not fly with them. With roughly a dozen Senate Republicans either committed to voting to disapprove of the president or weighing their options, introduced legislation Tuesday that would end national emergencies after 30 days unless Congress votes in favor of it.
Trump said that the GOP was missing the point of what's become a political shirts vs. skins exercise.
