On August 1, 1917, the Senate passed a resolution containing the language of the amendment to be presented to the states for ratification. The vote was 65 to 20, with the Democrats’ voting 36 in favor and 12 in opposition; and the Republicans’ voting 29 in favor and 8 in opposition. The House of Representatives passed a revised resolution[2] on December 17, 1917.
In the House, the vote was 282 to 128, with the Democrats’ voting 146 in favor and 64 in opposition; and the Republicans’ voting 137 in favor and 62 in opposition.[3] It was officially proposed by the Congress to the states when the Senate passed the resolution, by a vote of 47 to 8, the next day, December 18.[4]
