congressarchives:

The Wade-Davis bill was originally introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 15, 1864 and amended on May 4. The bill proposed conditions to be met by the former Confederate states prior to their return to the Union at the conclusion of the Civil War. It required that 50% of a state’s white males take a loyalty oath in order for the state to be readmitted to the Union. In addition, states were required to give blacks the right to vote. This bill passed both houses of Congress in July 1864. It was pocket vetoed by President Abraham Lincoln, and therefore never enacted into law. However, some of the policies included in this bill were later implemented in a series of four Reconstruction Acts (1867-1868), which were passed into law after Congress overrode the vetoes of President Andrew Johnson.
