What breaking Washington update explains the War Powers Resolution vote?

Don Lemon 0:34
More people become aware of our channel. And that's good for us, the health of our channel. um let me know where you're streaming from but we want to get you hi san francisco we want to get you right to washington dc where uh there is a vote going on right now live for the war powers resolution and we're going to get you to our washington correspondent as well daniel grimes who joins us now from dc that's a live vote the vote may be over time remaining it says four uh daniel hello to you are you there
Daniel Grimes 1:04
Don, I don't know if folks want to hear from me because your pup was behind you. So I feel like the adorableness stole the attention from all of the viewers. But yes, right now, the house where I am, the building, the cannons rotunda, the house is voting on the war powers resolution. That's basically just a vote to claw back power from President Trump, basically telling him that if you are going to do anything in Iran, you need to come to us. But It's not going to pass. And even if it did pass, the Senate wouldn't pass it. We saw it failed in the Senate yesterday. And even if the Senate did pass it, just like, you know, we all remember, I'm just a bill. And I don't remember that song, but that song, it has to go to the president.
Daniel Grimes 1:47
And so we know this president would veto it. So even, you know, if it were to pass both chambers, it would get vetoed. But regardless, it would still be pretty significant if the House were to pass it because it would show, listen, Congress wants to take some of their authority back down.
Don Lemon 2:03
Wait a minute. You don't know I'm just a bill. Yes, I'm only a bill until they vote for me on Capitol Hill. And then I'm off for the...
Daniel Grimes 2:12
Now you're putting me to shame.
Don Lemon 2:13
That's for the president to sign. Oh, gosh, young people. Anyways, okay, so you said, I zoned out when you said, when you didn't know that, because maybe it just makes me old, but I think they need to bring back Schoolhouse Rock, because people have no idea about how things work. So, and that little rhyming song, every Saturday, yeah. So you said, is it going to pass or not going to pass, or what is, what's going on here?
Daniel Grimes 2:39
It's not going to pass. It's not going to pass. I mean, they've been voting on these basically since Trump returned to office and they've failed in the Senate. They have failed in the House. But like I said, even if they were to pass either chamber, it's not going to if it gets to the president's desk, he would veto it and it wouldn't have that two thirds majority to overcome a veto. So but again, it would still be a symbolic victory for Trump. congress because as we've seen they have let president trump just act unilaterally and impose his will in iran um and that has obviously impacted americans what they're paying at the pump what they're paying at the grocery store um and he also listen he called up texas and said hey i want to see you all gerrymander some seats so that we can
Daniel Grimes 3:23
keep the house and we've seen what that has led to so i got a chance to talk to some legislators here today about that but before we get to that sound don i've got some breaking news for you too that doesn't have to do with the war powers
Don Lemon 3:36
Okay.
Daniel Grimes 3:37
Do you know what I'm going to say? You don't have to be scared. Yesterday, you said, I don't think the Senate is going to pass the bill that is going to restrict their ability to get paid if there's a government shutdown.
Don Lemon 3:52
And it was unanimous. I already reported on that. It's on social media. That's old news. But they did. Go ahead. Sorry.
Daniel Grimes 3:59
No, no, no. I mean, maybe new for our viewers. But yes, that is surprising. It was unanimous. Senate voted to if there's a shutdown, they will not get paid. Now, I know many people will say these people are already rich, but we'll see if that stops any shutdowns.
