Militia Draft Bill Amended by Senate
The Senate passed the Hay militia draft resolution in amended form by 45 to 30 after a day of debate. An exemption for guardsmen supporting dependents was pared to allow relief for families only via a future decision, while no relief for families was included in the final measure. The chamber avoided declaring war with Mexico on record, and House opposition signaled another clash over benefits for dependent families of Guardsmen.
