Senate Stalemate Fails Versailles Treaty Again in 1920
The United States Senate contended with the Versailles treaty and League of Nations covenant, rejecting the treaty for a second time. Key acts included the Cummins Esch bill for railroad control, the Water Power Development bill, and the Oil Land Leasing bill. The Senate and House debated peace terms, with Lodge reservations, Knox resolutions, and Wilson vetoes shaping the 1920 franchise. The President asked for Armenia mandate authority, which the Senate declined, and an array of war laws faced repeal and veto as Congress adjourned.
