True or false: President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law on March 11, 2021.

Question

Accepted Answer

President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law on March 11, 2021, completing a rapid legislative process. The Senate had passed a modified version of the bill on March 6 by a narrow 50–49 vote, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting a tie-breaking vote. The House then passed the final version on March 10 with a vote of 220–211 (one Democrat, Jared Golden, joined all Republicans in voting against it). Biden signed the bill just one day later on March 11. This quick timeline—from Senate passage to presidential signature in just five days—reflected the urgency Democrats felt about pandemic relief. The tight margins in both chambers (50-49 in Senate, 220-211 in House) showed that Democratic unity was critical to passage, with no Republican support.
