Why did president Lincoln reject the wade Davis bi?

President Lincoln rejected the Wade-Davis Bill in 1864 primarily because it imposed stricter requirements for Southern states' readmission to the Union than he favored. The bill required a majority of white male citizens in a state to take an "ironclad" oath of loyalty, which Lincoln believed would hinder reconciliation efforts. He preferred a more lenient approach, encapsulated in his Ten Percent Plan, which aimed to encourage quicker reunification and healing after the Civil War. Lincoln's veto highlighted the deep divisions among Republicans regarding the direction of Reconstruction.
