A dozen Republicans voted to terminate President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration Thursday, joining their Democratic colleagues to oppose the tactic that freed up money for a border wall.

The final tally was 59-41, which puts it eight votes short of the required number to override a presidential veto.

Trump responded to the vote with a one-word tweet that read, "VETO!"

  • Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.
