10 ene 1812 año - Congress passes an Army bill to enlarge the second regular army to 25,000.

Descripción:

The increase in manpower is far greater than Madison's request -- he had asked for a force of 10,000 -- but the bill provides less flexibility than Madison had requested. Amidst disagreements between Madison's administration and Congress, modifications are made to the legislation over the summer.
