JOINT RESOLUTION Declaring that a state of war exists between the Imperial Government of Japan and the Government and the people of the United States and making provisions to prosecute the same. Congress Joint Resolution signed by President Roosevelt on Decemat 4:10 p.m., Public Law 77-328, 55 STAT 795, which declared war on Japan. Two days later, a similar war declaration against Germany and Italy came to vote Rankin abstained. After the vote, reporters followed her into the Republican cloakroom, where she refused to make any comments and took refuge in a telephone booth until United States Capitol Police cleared the cloakroom. Now alone in her position, several of Rankin’s congressional colleagues pressed her to change her vote to make the resolution unanimous-or at least to abstain-but she refused, saying "As a woman, I can't go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else." Rankin was one of ten women holding Congressional seats at the time. In 1917, Rankin was among 56 members of Congress to vote against the declaration that triggered America’s entry into World War I. The first woman elected to Congress, Jeannette Rankin, a Montana Republican and outspoken pacifist, cast the only vote against the declaration, eliciting hisses from some of her peers. Roosevelt signed the declaration at 4:10 p.m the same day.

The vote was 82–0 in the Senate and 388–1 in the House. The declaration was quickly brought to a vote it passed the Senate, and then passed the House at 1:10 p.m. President Roosevelt formally requested the declaration in his Infamy Speech, addressed to a joint session of Congress and the nation at 12:30 p.m. did, partially due to Japanese attacks on the British colonies of Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong and partially due to Winston Churchill's promise to declare war "within the hour" of a Japanese attack on the United States. The United Kingdom declared war on Japan nine hours before the U.S. Japan formally declared war on the US and the British Empire on 7 December 1941. Even if it had been, the notification was worded so that it actually neither declared war nor severed diplomatic relations it was therefore not a proper declaration of war as required by diplomatic traditions. Hence, the ambassador did not deliver it until after the attack had begun. However, because of the very secret nature of the message, it had to be decoded, translated and typed up by high embassy officials, who were unable to do these tasks in the available time. Tokyo transmitted the 5,000-word notification – known as the "14-Part Message" – in two blocks to the Japanese Embassy in Washington. that it was withdrawing from further peace negotiations, but the attack began before the notice could be delivered. It was originally stipulated that the attack should not commence until thirty minutes after Japan had informed the U.S. The attack on Pearl Harbor took place before a declaration of war by Japan had been delivered to the United States.
