The 2012 Republican proposal was formalized and passed by the House of Representatives on Friday, April 15, 2011 by a vote of 235 to 193,[7] largely along party lines. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill, and four Republicans--Walter B. Jones Jr., David McKinley, Ron Paul and Denny Rehberg—voted against it.[7] A month later, the Senate voted against the budget by a vote of 57–40.[8]
