Why was U.S. President Wilson unsuccessful in his attempt to get Senate approval for the Treaty of Versailles? Most of the Senators did not agree with the U.S. policy of isolationism. The Senate felt the treaty would limit U.S. independence in world affairs. Many Republican Senators favored greater U.S. involvement in world affairs. The Senate urged greater U.S. involvement in the League of Nations.

it was approved by the house on , July 4, 1776 and signed on August 2, 1776 The Lee Resolution claiming independence was adopted (congress does not ratify its own resolutions) on 7/2 in closed session of the Continental Congress (2d). (There was no House and Senate.) The Declaration, explaining the rationale, was adopted by the congress on 7/4. It was published with that date and first read publicly in Philly with the ringing of the Liberty Bell on 7/8. As the Declaration was what was generally published, the folks at that time used the date they saw. The document had to be ratified by the "colonies" and formal signing began on 8/2. I do not know the procedure for ratification. The Continental Congress turned into the Confederation Congress or the Congress of the Confederation with the Articles of Confederation. They wrote the US Constitution and so we got what we now have as just "Congress," a House and a Senate. See Related Links for a Timeline.

But if you meant was he ever in "modern branches" i.e. House of Representatives or Senate, the answer is no.No. In 1776, while serving as the Speaker of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, he was chosen by the Pennsylvania Assembly as their delegate to the 2nd Continental Congress. In June of the same year was voted to the Committee of Five to draft the Declaration of Independence.
