WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate began debating a proposal on Thursday to terminate President Donald Trump's declaration of an emergency at the southern border, with enough Republicans indicating they would support the measure for it to pass, with Trump vowing a veto.

Passage of the legislation would mark the second Senate rebuke of the president in two days. Senators on Wednesday approved a resolution seeking to end U.S. support for the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in the war in Yemen, rejecting Trump's policy towards the kingdom.
