Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never.later_termA for effort
The relevant outcome occurred well after the 2012 campaign term, so timing is later_term. Norton publicly opposed the disapproval effort and advocated against it, but the Senate still passed the resolution 49-47 and it was signed by the president. Because the promised outcome was to fight Senate passage and that passage was not stopped, this is not delivered, though her serious opposition warrants the effort badge.
