The Short Session of Congress

Author

Listed:
  • Rogers, Lindsay

Abstract

On March 4,1917, when the senate filibuster killed the armed neutrality bill, President Wilson issued a statement in which he said that the situation was “unparalleled in the history of the country, perhaps unparalleled in the history of any modern government…‥ The explanation is incredible. The senate of the United States is the only legislative body in the world which cannot act when its majority is ready for action. A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
