Wade-Davis Bill
The Wade-Davis Bill
Iron clad oath
The Wade-Davis Bill, proposed in 1864, aimed to establish a stricter process for Southern states' readmission into the Union after the Civil War. It required a majority of white males in a state to take a loyalty oath and mandated that states abolish slavery before rejoining. Anything unrelated to these requirements or the political context of Reconstruction, such as economic policies or foreign relations, would not be connected to the Wade-Davis Bill.
Yes- the President must take the oath of office as required by the US Constitution.
Its the Wade-Davis Bill.
The oath is given in the city government offices and pledges to obey the laws and constitution of the United States. Before doing this a certificate is required from the Secretary of State and proof of insurance and bonding is also required.
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.
To be readmitted to the Union, ten percent of a state's voters were required to take an oath of allegiance to the United States. This requirement was part of the Ten Percent Plan proposed by President Abraham Lincoln during the Reconstruction era, which aimed to reintegrate the Southern states following the Civil War. Once the oath was taken, the state could establish a new government and seek readmission to the Union.
