about 5 years in Roll Call

Thirteen Republicans rebuked President Donald Trump on Tuesday, supporting a Democratic effort to stop the president from declaring a national emergency to fund a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A resolution of disapproval blocking Trump’s declaration passed the House by a vote of 245-182 Tuesday evening, with almost every Democrat and 13 Republicans supporting the measure. Trump declared a national emergency when Congress failed to meet his request of $8 billion for a barrier along the southern border. Lawmakers allocated nearly $1.4 billion for 55 miles of barriers in a recent government funding bill.
