When congress passed the wade-davis bill in response to lincoln's reconstruction plans, the president he a. passed the bill
b. pocket-vetoed the bill
c. rewrote the bill
d. officially vetoed the bill

The correct answer is B)Pocket vetoed the bill.

The Wade Davis Bill was a piece of proposed legislation created by two Radical Republicans. The goal of this 1864 was to force Confederate states who left the Union to take an oath of loyalty to the United States. Lincoln agreed with this idea.

However, the reason he pocket vetoed it (didn't sign it before the end of the legislative session) was because he disagreed with how many people needed to vote on it. The Wade Davis Bill called for a majority of citizens in former Confederate States to approve the oath. Lincoln, on the other hand, was proposing that only 10% of citizens needed to agree to the oath in order to be accepted back into the Union.
