Amendment to establish presidential succession order sought
The Senate advanced Mr Bacon’s proposal for a constitutional amendment to set a line of succession when no President or Vice President exists. It authorizes Congress to name an acting officer and keep the office filled until a new President is elected, with the measure passing the two third vote and awaiting House action. Senator Carter protested delaying postal savings bank work and urged prioritizing that bill. The day saw several actions including court martial approvals and naturalization provisions for sailors, plus Philippine war claim aid. Brownsville case readiness and debate returned to the floor amid opposition to the compromise plan. The Nevada divorce reform bill moved to require two years residency for divorce filings.
