Updated: October 21, 2025

May 21st the Republican House of Representatives passed the measure by a vote of 304 to 89-the first thing of any importance done by the new House. This was 42 votes above the required two-thirds majority, whereas the vote in the House in January, 1918, under Democratic control had given the measure only one vote more than was required.
