Trump Says This Is Last Time He Will Sign A Bill Like This

President Trump sparked fears of an impending government shutdown Friday by threatening to veto a $1.3 trillion spending bill passed by Congress, citing the lack of a deal that would include protection for illegal immigrants brought to the country as children in return for funding for a wall.

Trump tweeted that he was considering the veto, saying that recipients of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program “have been totally abandoned by the Democrats.” He added that the border wall, which he said was "desperately needed for our National Defense" is not fully funded.

The House adjourned Friday morning until Monday, meaning that if Trump vetoed the bill then the government would shut down.

Congress could override the veto, but it would need two-thirds of the House and Senate. The bill passed 62-35 in the Senate and 256-167 in the House, both short of two-thirds. Republicans would also be wary of overriding a veto by a Republican president.
