The Aldrich–Vreeland Act, passed in response to the Panic of 1907, established the National Monetary Commission, which recommended the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. On May 27, 1908, the bill passed the House, mostly on a party-line vote of 166–140, with 13 Republicans voting against it and no Democrats voting for it. On May 30, it passed in the Senate with 43 Republicans for the act and five Republicans joining the 17 Democrats against it. President Roosevelt signed the bill that same night.
