Trump declaring border emergency would be 'lawless act': Sen. Schumer

In unusually harsh language, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Thursday that if President Donald Trump declares a national emergency to build a border wall, he would be committing "a lawless act" and warned that Congress would take steps to stop him."Declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency," Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor.
