Assessments
The promise was to support a constitutional amendment keeping the Supreme Court at nine justices, not necessarily to secure final enactment. Fedorchak publicly supported H.J. Res. 1 and voted Yea on the House resolution during her current House term. Although the measure failed to receive the required two-thirds vote, her promised act of support was fulfilled in the same federal term.
