Clinton's biggest mistake......The bill was sponsored by Representative
Benjamin A. Gilman (Republican,
NY-20) and co-sponsored by Representative
Christopher Cox (Republican, CA-47). The bill was introduced as
H.R. 4655 on September 29, 1998. The House of Representatives passed the bill 360 - 38 on October 5, and the Senate passed it with
unanimous consent two days later. President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act into law on October 31, 1998
BOTH chambers of Congress had a republican majority........
