One of my sources says that the resolution had passed the U.S. House of Representatives at 3 a.m. the same day (April 6, 1917) by a vote of 373–50. [1] This date and roll-call count, although not the time, is backed by another of my sources [2] Incidentally, both sources support the 82-6 roll call in the Senate on April 4, without naming the nays listed in this Wikipedia stub.
One of the dissenters was Rep. Jeannette Rankin of Montana (1880-1973), who later became (as a returning House member) the only member of either chamber of Congress to vote against declaring war against the Japanese Empire on Monday, December 8, 1941. Wikipedia says that she was the first woman in America to hold national (i.e. Federal) office.
Normally, I'd take the time to just fill out this stub myself, but I might not get back here for a couple of weeks, if not longer.
