Congressman Danny K. Davis joined a powerful bi-partisan statement in the House of Representatives with a historic vote to limit presidential overreach and help protect the constitutional balance of power between the White House and Congress. The vote to block President Trump’s emergency declaration at the southern border was an unprecedented congressional challenge to a president’s authority to invoke emergency powers and expropriate the Congressional power of the purse.
