John Stennis Autographs

John Cornelius Stennis (August 3, 1901 – April 23, 1995) was an American politician who served as a U.S. senator from the state of Mississippi. He was a Democrat who served in the Senate for over 41 years, becoming its most senior member for his last eight years. He retired from the Senate in 1989, and is, to date, the last Democrat to have been a U.S. senator from Mississippi. At the time of his retirement, Stennis was the last senator to have served during the presidency of Harry S. Truman.
While attending law school, Stennis won a seat in the Mississippi House of Representatives, holding office from 1928 to 1932. He was the trial level prosecutor of Brown v. Mississippi (1936), where three African-American teenagers were subject to brutal whippings to extract false confessions that Stennis entered as evidence the teenagers had committed the murder they were being trialed for, leading the Supreme Court to rule that confessions extracted by police violence could not be used as legitimate evidence and overturning the convictions of the teenagers. After serving as a prosecutor and state judge, Stennis won a special election in 1947 to fill the U.S. Senate vacancy following the death of Theodore G. Bilbo. He won election to a full term in 1952 and remained in the Senate until he declined to seek re-election in 1988.
Stennis became the first Chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee and also chaired the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations. He also served as President pro tempore of the Senate from 1987 to 1989. In 1973, President Richard Nixon proposed the Stennis Compromise, whereby the famously hard-of-hearing Stennis would be allowed to listen to, and summarize, the Watergate tapes, but this idea was rejected by Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox.
