Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment: Passage of H.J. Res. 1
Vote No. 98: March 2, 1995
Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment: By 65 yeas to 35 nays (Vote
No. 98), two-thirds of Senators voting, a quorum being present, not
having voted in the affirmative, Senate failed to pass H.J. Res. 1,
proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United
States.
Subsequently, a motion was entered to reconsider the vote (Vote No.
98) by which the resolution failed of passage. {The actual vote was
66 yeas to 34 nays. Senator Dole changed his vote from yea to nay so
that he could qualify to enter the motion to reconsider the vote. He
has stated that he intends to ask for 'reconsideration' of this vote
later in the 104th Session of Congress}.
