simple resolution
over 70 proposals for an amendment were drafted. in late 1865, the joint committee on reconstruction proposed an amendment stating that any citizens barred from voting on the basis of race by a state would not be counted for purposes of representation of that state. this amendment passed the house, but was blocked in the senate by a coalition of radical republicans led by charles sumner, who believed the proposal a "compromise with wrong", and democrats opposed to black rights. consideration then turned to a proposed amendment by representative john a. bingham of ohio, which would enable congress to safeguard "equal protection of life, liberty, and property" of all citizens; this proposal failed to pass the house. in april 1866, the joint committee forwarded a third proposal to congress, a carefully negotiated compromise that combined elements of the first and second proposals as well as addressing the issues of confederate debt and voting by ex-confederates. the house of representatives passed "house resolution 127, 39th congress" several weeks later and sent to the senate for action. the resolution was debated and several amendments to it were proposed. amendments to sections 2, 3, and 4 were adopted on june 8, 1866, and the modified resolution passed by a 33 to 11 vote (5 absent, not voting). the house agreed to the senate amendments on june 13 by a 138–36 vote (10 not voting). a concurrent resolution requesting the president to transmit the proposal to the executives of the several states was passed by both houses of congress on june 18.
