Senate passes NATO ascension resolution, House of Representatives debate on the floor
(CNN, Greater London) The Commonwealth Senate passed the Resolution on Ascension into NATO 71-29, officially moving the resolution granting the President the permission to submit an application to formally join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization past the Senate and into the House of Representatives, which began its debate on the House floor today. Democratic and Liberal Congressmen, forming up a sizable majority in the House, voiced their strong support for the resolution while the Democratic and Liberal party whips moved behind the scenes to ensure the support of each and every Democrat and Liberal in the House.
The Conservative Party, a merger of the US Republican and British Conservative parties, stood opposed to the resolution, citing recent scandals revolving around the NATO alliance and urging the Commonwealth to maintain its status of a 'neutral broker'. Although the Conservatives are the second-largest party in Congress, they failed to secure the support of the centrist Acela party who opted to support the resolution after lobbying by Democrats. Tomorrow, on 14 January 2040, the House will officially vote on the resolution and decide whether or not the Commonwealth of New Provenance will ascend into the NATO alliance.
Meanwhile, President Carter has again voiced his support for the resolution, urging members of the House to vote Aye on voting day tomorrow to 'collectively ensure the continuance of democracy and freedom as key ideals in the world'. While President Carter's comments have been slammed hard by the Conservatives, Democrats and Liberals alike have applauded him.
