What was the US Congress's final response to Joseph McCarthys actions and how long after their response did he die?
Congress's response was to censure him after his long tirade of baseless Communist accusations in the Army, Government, and what not. His accusations began in 1950 and after three long years of hunting Communists without facts the Army, with the Presidents blessing, put McCarthy on trial for trying to get a former aide of his better treatment in the Army. This trial/ hearing were televised for the 36 days it went on and 20 million people watched. The people who watched realized McCarthy was just a bully and his popularity began to plummet. With his popularity gone Congress finally felt confident enough to try and censure him in 1954. The censure hearing held to see if he should be censured on 46 different accounts. After about two months the hearing ended and he was censured on only 2 accounts. This took away most of his power. No one listened to his speeches and television stayed away from him. After three years as a powerless senator he died of inflammation of the liver on May 2, 1957. He was 48.
