Repealed by the House but did not change the foreign shipper law against multiple domestic ports of call and pickup.
True, the cabotage laws remained. But you said the law required foreign ships carrying southern exports pay compensation and that requirement was revoked in 1830. The millions of bales of cotton leaving southern ports bound for Europe could go on U.S. ships or foreign ships without the tonnage penalty the U.S. charged before.
Wouldn't it also have to be repealed by the Senate to become law? The legislative branch normally requires approval by both houses of congress, not just one.
I suppose a bill could be written to allow it's repeal by just the house, but the Senate would have to approve that bill before such could become law.
