The 19th. and you betcha I bet we could get a rightie to come out for repeal. passed in 19 and 20. amazing that for 131 years of this country, women were denied the vote and have had it only 90 now. history just dinks along. went to wiki to make sure I had the number right and the year and found this on it - the Senate has sucked big for pretty much since the beginning: On January 9, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson announced his support of the amendment. The House of Representatives narrowly passed the amendment the next day, but the Senate refused to debate it until October. When the Senate voted on the amendment in October, it failed by three votes.[1] In response, the National Woman's Party urged citizens to vote against anti-suffrage Senators up for reelection in the 1918 midterm elections. Following those elections, most members of Congress were pro-suffrage. On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives passed the amendment by a vote of 304 to 89 and the Senate followed suit on June 4, by a vote of 56 to 25.[2] On August 18, 1920, the Tennessee General Assembly, by a one-vote margin became the thirty-sixth state legislature to ratify the proposed amendment, making it the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. On August 26, 1920, Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the amendment's adoption. In Leser v. Garnett, 258 U.S. 130 (1922), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Nineteenth Amendment had been properly adopted.[3]
