Here, both parties gave a majority vote for passing it, but the republicans passed it with a much stronger majority.

The original House version:

Democratic Party: 164-96 (63%-37%)
Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)
The Senate version:

Democratic Party: 46-22 (68%-32%)
Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:

Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%)
Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)

Seeing as Angel mentioned stuff from 1925, 1948, and 1972, I just figured that any time frame in the last century was acceptible.
