A congressional bill of 1864 pocket vetoed by Lincoln that required 50 percent of southern voters to take an oath of allegiance before readmission to the union?
The congressional bill of 1864, known as the Wade-Davis Bill, aimed to impose strict requirements for Southern states' readmission to the Union after the Civil War. It mandated that 50 percent of white male voters in a state take an oath of allegiance to the Union. President Abraham Lincoln pocket vetoed the bill, choosing not to sign it or formally reject it, which effectively prevented it from becoming law. This action reflected his more lenient approach to Reconstruction compared to the bill's authors, who sought harsher terms for Southern states.

The US Constitution gives this choice of wording in the required oath of office.
What precent of the southern population must take an oath of loyalty to be able to be represented in congress why did you choose that number?
To be represented in Congress, 10% of the voters in a Southern state were required to take an oath of loyalty under the Reconstruction era's Wade-Davis Bill. This number was chosen as a compromise to ensure that a significant portion of the population had demonstrated loyalty to the Union, while not being so high as to exclude a majority of potential voters. This threshold aimed to facilitate the reintegration of Southern states while promoting loyalty to the Union.
Whose reconstruction plan required Southerners to take loyalty oaths?
President Abraham Lincoln's reconstruction plan required Southerners to take loyalty oaths.

This plan aimed to encourage rapid reintegration of the Southern states following the Civil War. However, it faced criticism for being too lenient toward the South.
