The House of Representatives voted to revoke President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration over the flow of drugs from Canada, his legal method of imposing tariffs on Canadian imports.

The Wednesday vote, by a 219-211 margin, is the result of a rare revolt against Trump’s tariff policies.

Six Republicans voted to deprive Trump of his emergency tariff powers: Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Don Bacon of Nebraska, Kevin Kiley of California, Dan Newhouse of Washington, Jeff Hurd of Colorado, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.

On the Democrat side, Rep. Jared Golden, who represents a Maine swing district, was the only member to vote against the measure.

The resolution will require approval from the Senate and president to be enacted. Congress, absent a veto-proof majority, cannot unilaterally vote to rescind a national emergency declaration, so Trump can veto successful attempts to revoke his emergency power.

Trump took to social media just moments........
