After the 1994 midterm elections, Congressional Republicans believed that the American people wanted change.
In the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans fought to deliver on that promise of a "treaty with America". Newt Gingrich and Richard Armey wrote the document and led the campaign to regain control of Congress for the Republican Party. (Republicans have not had a majority in the House of Representatives in 40 years.) The Republicans won 54 House seats in the 1994 midterm elections, in addition to 9 Senate seats to become the largest party in Congress.
So they thought they had to fulfill their "treaty with America" to make any changes.
