That's not how this works.

Last month the Democrat controlled House of Representatives passed a resolution opposing President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration in an effort to divert funds to pay for his border wall. That passage came as no surprise.

But Thursday 12 GOP Senators joined their Democratic colleagues to pass the measure in the Senate as well. The vote was 59-41 in a Senate with 53 GOP Senators that is a big defection and a major message to Trump.


Whether the message was received and understood is unclear, but the President sent a quick and clear response. Trump tweeted:

"VETO!"

Many people pondered if the President knew he'd have to go through the process with more than just a tweet.

A few Twitter users thought it was a call to just yell out their suggestions and accommodated the request.

Others just thought it was a typo.

And offered to correct the President's tweet.

Many thought Trump got just one letter wrong.

Those letters do actually sit adjacent on a qwerty keyboard.

Based on the results of the first vote, there is not enough support in the Senate to overturn a veto by President Trump making the resolution largely symbolic for many people.

Man's Poignant Message On T-Shirt About Wife's Dementia Is Giving TikTok All The Feels

Whether or not you've seen The Notebook movie starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, based on the Nicholas Sparks novel by the same name, you've likely heard about the premise of the film, which is now a popular trope in romance novels: a husband reminding his wife, who has dementia, of who he is and that he loves her, every day for the rest of her life.

Seeing this trope in action in real life seems like it would be a few-and-far-between event, so it seems only fitting that TikToker @kepoxia_cdrama, who loves posting about romantic tropes and scenes from TV dramas, would experience it.
