McConnell is doing this to stop FUTURE abuses of the emergency powers by the next Democratic president.

So basically McConnell wants to stop the next Democratic president from using emergency powers for things like healthcare etc., but has no issues with the current Republican abusing the power for a wall.
Hopefully Democrats won't fall for this.

Oh gee.. I should've known Republicans are all vile scumbags...
Pelosi tweeted about them using this tactic..
"In an effort to avoid voting in favor of the House's resolution to terminate Trump’s #FakeEmergency, GOP senators are proposing legislation to allow Trump to violate the Constitution just this once," Pelosi tweeted. "The House will not take up this legislation to give President Trump a pass."
I should of known they would never try to do the "right" thing. It was just a tactic to avoid voting on the House Bill. What pieces of shit..
