The censure motion of 5 October 1962 — The first censure motion carried under the Fifth Republic
Against the article-11 revision, the Assembly carried censure — 280 votes where 241 sufficed: Pompidou tendered his resignation, de Gaulle dissolved, and November’s elections returned a Gaullist majority; Pompidou was reappointed.
