<P> In some cases (e.g. The National Security Restoration Act and The Personal Responsibility Act), the proposed bills were accomplished by a single act analogous to that which had been proposed in the Contract; in other cases (e.g. The Job Creation and Wage Enhancement Act), a proposed bill's provisions were split up across multiple acts . Most of the bills died in the Senate, except as noted below . </P> <P> An amendment to the Constitution that would require a balanced budget unless sanctioned by a two - thirds vote in both houses of Congress (H.J. Res. 1, passed by the US House Roll Call: 300 - 132, January 26, 1995, but rejected by the US Senate: Roll Call 65 - 35 (interestingly enough the amendment was defeated by a single vote, which happened to be from a Republican - Oregon Republican Senator Mark Hatfield; Dole cast a procedural vote against the amendment to bring it up again in the future), March 2, 1995, two - thirds required . Legislation (not an amendment) provided the president with a line - item veto (H.R. 2, passed by the US House Roll Call: 294 - 134, February 6, 1995; conferenced with S. 4 and enacted with substantial changes April 9, 1996). The statute was ruled unconstitutional in Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417, 118 S. Ct. 2091, 141 L. Ed. 2d 393 (1998). </P> <P> An anti-crime package including stronger truth in sentencing, "good faith" exclusionary rule exemptions (H.R. 666 Exclusionary Rule Reform Act, passed US House Roll Call 289 - 142 February 8, 1995), death penalty provisions (H.R. 729 Effective Death Penalty Act, passed US House Roll Call 297 - 132 February 8, 1995; similar provisions enacted under S. 735 (1), April 24, 1996), funding prison construction (H.R. 667 Violent Criminal Incarceration Act, passed US House Roll Call 265 - 156 February 10, 1995, rc #117) and additional law enforcement (H.R. 728 Local Government Law Enforcement Block Grants Act, passed US House Roll Call 238 - 192 February 14, 1995). </P> <P> An act to discourage illegitimacy and teen pregnancy by reforming and cutting cash welfare and related programs . This would be achieved by prohibiting welfare to mothers under 18 years of age, denying increased Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) for additional children while on welfare, and enacting a two - years - and - out provision with work requirements to promote individual responsibility . H.R. 4, the Family Self - Sufficiency Act, included provisions giving food vouchers to unwed mothers under 18 in lieu of cash AFDC benefits, denying cash AFDC benefits for additional children to people on AFDC, requiring recipients to participate in work programs after 2 years on AFDC, complete termination of AFDC payments after five years, and suspending driver and professional licenses of people who fail to pay child support . H.R. 4, passed by the US House 234 - 199, March 23, 1995, and passed by the US Senate 87 - 12, September 19, 1995 . The Act was vetoed by President Clinton, but the alternative Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act which offered many of the same policies was enacted August 22, 1996 . </P>
