You need a super majority to overcome a presidential veto, the first denial of the emergency was passed by a simple majority. The Republicans are looking for a way to get rid of the emergency without trying to knock it down and bloodying Trump's nose with a veto proof majority vote that they might not be able to muster. Not very many senior members are keen on this national emergency because it could greatly expand presidential power.
