Congressional Compliance with Termination Notice

When: April 23, 1846
Where: United States Capitol
Part of: United States House votes to end joint occupation of Oregon Country

Both houses of Congress complied with President Polk's call to notify Britain of ending the joint occupation on April 23, 1846; the specific date of the House vote is not stated in the passages.

President Polk recommended giving the British one-year notice to terminate the joint occupation agreement in his December 2, 1845, address. The supplied passage states that both houses of Congress complied with this request on April 23, 1846, but does not state that the House of Representatives voted on that specific date. The legacy row's date of January 5, 1846, is not supported by the supplied passages, which indicate compliance occurred in April.
