The vote took place after an all-night debate, in that the ruling military junta refused to allow Vice-President João Goulart, believed to be a leftist, to succeed recently resigned President Jânio Quadros.[8] The parliamentary system of Brazilian government, unique in South America, lasted for 16 months until abolished in a plebiscite in 1963.[9]

Kennedy issued a joint proposal to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, "that their three governments agree, effective immediately, not to conduct nuclear tests which take place in the atmosphere and produce radioactive fall-out", and dropping previous requests for inspection.[12] Khrushchev rejected the proposal, but the U.S.A., U.S.S.R. and the U.K. would later sign the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963.[13]
