Not really. It was just 3 days later, right? They were in internal discussions but those were still leaning heavily towards continuing the war.
The second Bomb forced an emergency session and the 50-50 vote was broken by the Emperor. That's as close as it gets!
Had they voted to continue? America had no more Bombs to drop until April '46. Many millions would be dead by then.
