On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives passed the amendment, and 2 weeks later, the Senate followed. When Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on August 18, 1920, the amendment passed its final hurdle of obtaining the agreement of three-fourths of the states.
Who voted to ratify the 19th Amendment?
On May 21, 1919, the amendment passed the House 304 to 89, with 42 votes more than was necessary. On June 4, 1919, it was brought before the Senate and, after Southern Democrats abandoned a filibuster, 36 Republican Senators were joined by 20 Democrats to pass the amendment with 56 yeas, 25 nays, and 14 not voting.
How did the 19th Amendment get ratified?
In 1919, the U.S. Congress was finally able to pass the 19th Amendment, and by August 1920, 35 states had ratified the amendment – one short of it being adopted into the Constitution. The final vote came from Tennessee, which narrowly passed the amendment in their statehouse by a vote of 49-47.
