President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.

“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

    but congress has failed to perform it's duties for the past 60 years and more.

    They didn't neglect it. They deliberately chose to silently support it since it provided a work force without voting rights. Along with outsourcing labor to China it redirected cash flow from poor Americans to Mexicans and Chinese that would otherwise demand labor rights and environmental regulations that eventually lead to socialist movements.
