…DECEMBER 7, 1941, A DATE WHICH WILL LIVE IN INFAMY…

On December 8, 1941, the day after the attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his "Day of Infamy" speech to Congress, after which Congress swiftly passed a declaration of war against Japan. The resolution passed the Senate unanimously (82–0) and the House with only one dissenting vote (388–1), and Roosevelt signed it into law that same day. This action formally brought the United States into World War II.
