Wyoming Ratifies Sixteenth Amendment Income Tax Constitutional
The Wyoming legislature suspended rules and passed the Kendrick resolution ratifying the federal income tax amendment. The Senate and House approved it by 10:45 and 10:50 respectively, sending word to The Leader and the Associated Press. Delaware later ratified, but Wyoming’s action created the official ratification moment. The measure, known as the Sixteenth Amendment, grants Congress power to tax incomes without apportionment.
