House Democrats on Friday introduced a resolution to block the national emergency declared by President Donald Trump for the funding of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico Border.

The resolution could result in Trump’s first veto and the full house could vote on it as soon as next week.

The Democratic-controlled house is sure to pass the measure, and the GOP-run Senate may adopt it despite Trump’s opposition.

House speaker Nancy Pelosi, promised that her chamber will “move swiftly” to pass the measure, predicting in a letter to colleagues that “the resolution will be referred to the senate and then sent to the president’s desk.”

Pelosi wrote that the Republican president’s “decision to go outside the bounds of the law to try to get what he failed to achieve in the constitutional legislative process violates the constitution and must be terminated.”

Cardinals attending Pope Francis’ summit on preventing clergy sex abuse called for a new culture of accountability in the Catholic church Friday. They hope to punish bishops and religious superiors when they fail to protect their followers from predators.

Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich says 190 bishops and religious superiors must report and investigate catholic superiors when accused of misconduct or negligence in abuse cases.
