Question

To change their votes to support the amendment, some congressmen were offered high-paying government jobs once they left the House, or jobs for their friends or relatives. The effort paid off. The House reversed its previous vote, gaining a two-thirds majority." Based on this information, what can you Conclude?

Answer 1

Answer:

If a government official changes his vote on a particular amendment or vote, in exchange for a high paying job in government once they leave congress, it can be said that they were swayed by unproper government interference.

In other words, some government officials carried out a form of illegal lobbying to change the positions of the congresspeople. This is illegal or unproper because the constitution establishes that the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Government should be independent, check each other's power, and collaborate, but in a genuine manner, without unproper influence.
