Constitutional Amendment Passes Senate in Twenty Six Hours
Washington. Washmaron Feb 9. The Constitutional Amendment cleared the Senate with 40 voting for and 16 against after a twenty six hour session. Debate stayed political and the chamber remained in near constant duty with senators sleeping briefly on lounge areas while maintaining firm dedication to the vote. The amendment differs from the simpler version that previously passed.
