From what I understand of the dem bill, it was proposed so that the rep party, who don't have a large personal stake in the volunteer army, would stand up and take notice when the decision of whether or not to go to war would make them think twice about the matter ... i.e. if there was a war, YOUR son could be made to take part. I don't think that there were any serious intentions at the time. It only became relevant after the current need for 2 to 3 more divisions in our armed services became apparent.
