1996 - Introduced by Republicans. Passed by unanimous consent in the House and Senate. [0]

2013 - Introduced by Republicans. Passed with 2 nay votes in the Senate, 1 in the House. [1]

Both parties allowed it to happen. In both cases it was veto-proof. Pointless to call out a president. Pointless to blame one party or the other. Both have overwhelming support for this.
