Having majorities didn't stop them voting against it a couple of years prior and, I might add, stop the vote from initially being lost, only being won after the speaker held open the vote for some good old fashioned arm-twisting. Clinton faced significant resistance within his own party, back when party members didn't vote automatically along party lines like they do now.
