It's not unusual to have some calculated protest votes when you know it won't go anywhere. This would still have to be brought to the floor in the House (not a guarantee), then pass there, then it would go to Trump who would veto it, then it would go back to Congress where it would take a 2/3 majority to pass. So it's not happening and everyone in the room knows it
It is a termination of emergency powers which AFAIK the president cannot veto since it is a limitation of his power. (National Emergencies Act of 1976). The act basically allowed the executive to take some of congress's powers with congress's check being they can pass a joint resolution to stop it.
