GOP senators back Trump’s DC crime crackdown as president eyes longer control

President Donald Trump indicated that he could skirt the Congress to expand his acquisition of Washington, DC, police, and some are paying attention to the Republican calls of the Congress.

Sen Roger Marshal, R-Kan., Said he would vote to expand Trump’s right, but did not assume that Senate Democrats would support and support the President more time.

Marshal told Fox News Digital, “I am in favor of President Trump.” “Of course, we want to follow the Constitution, and I need to go back and read what he can do and what cannot do, but I think it will take a 60-cut limit in the Senate to pass this resolution.”

The provision allows the President to effectively make the local police force effectively federal, unless the Congress, through a joint resolution, gives him an extension. But the question remains on whether that kind of resolution will hit the Senate’s specific 60-votes with thresholds or if it can pass through a simple majority.

Trump on Monday called for a part of the Home Rule Act, which ruled the district so that he can give himself the right to control the metropolitan police department and since then, in the National Guard soldiers, with the FBI and DEA agents, sent to patrol the streets.

Republicans control 53 seats in the upper chamber, which means that Democrats may need to give Trump an extension beyond the 30-day window. But Trump announced the New Kennedy Center honor during a press conference on Wednesday, saying he would ask for “long -term extensions” and believes that the Democrat would not do anything to stop the crime. “

Trump also said that he could not need Congress.

“Well, if it is a national emergency, we can do it without Congress,” Trump said. “But we hope … before Congress, very early.

“We’re going to do it very quickly, but we want the extension,” he said. “I don’t want to call a national emergency. If I have to do, I will do it, but I think Republicans will approve it very unanimously in Congress.”

James Cummer, Chairman of the House Opposition Committee, whose committee oversee the district, supported Trump’s move to control DC’s police force on Monday. Asked by Fox News Digital, whether he has returned the Congress to continue his grip on the local police, a spokesperson said, “We support the President’s actions to complete the mission.”
