World Court Adopted by Senate Amid Reservations
The senate voted 76 to 17 to adhere to the permanent court of international justice with five major reservations and require approval by any involved party. The decision keeps the United States aligned with the world court while limiting its authority and participation. Critics warn it still deepens League of Nations ties and may delay actual U.S. membership. The session also moved to tax reduction debates and farm policy measures as part of ongoing legislative battles.
