Asked how the GOP can avoid a battle with Trump, one Republican considering voting for the disapproval resolution said: “He can change his mind.” “The president can get way more money than he’s even asking for without setting the Constitution on its head”

Sen. Alexander to President Trump "He's got sufficient funding without a national emergency, he can build a wall and avoid a dangerous precedent ... that would change the voting situation if he we were to agree to do that."

The $5 billion he is referring to here is the appropriations money + the two other executive actions Trump announced. Alexander and other GOP senators don't like Trump using military construction money, "dangerous precedent" he says

Lamar Alexander just delivered a couched ultimatum to the White House: Reconsider the emergency declaration and take the $5 billion to build the wall or he might (and seems likely to) vote to disapprove. Still at 50 votes
