This will not stand.

Reading up on this, it appears that Congress can vacate a presidentially declared 'emergency' by a simple majority.  Given that there seem to be a number of Republican senators who hate the idea of funding Der Wall in this manner, Trump's declaration in no way makes the wall a done deal.
