senate approved Andrew proposal
Notably in 1943 he would attempt to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act. On September 30, 1943, Andrews proposed S.1404 in the Senate which would have repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act and was identical to the bill which was proposed by Warren Magnuson of Washington in the House of Representatives.[4] Ultimately, the bill proposed by Andrews did not go through as the Senate Committee on Immigration decided that it would be quicker to go through the House bill. The House bill would end up passing the House and later the Senate before being signed into law on December 17 by President Roosevelt.[5] President signed in 12/17
