Carl Trumbull Hayden (October 2, 1877 – January 25, 1972[1]) was a U.S. senator and representative from the state of Arizona. A Democrat, he was succeeded by Barry Goldwater. Hayden was one of the longest serving members of Congress in U.S. history.[2]
He served as a U.S. representative from 1912–27 and as U.S. Senator from 1927–69.[1] He served as president pro tempore of the Senate from 1957–69.[1]
United States Senate
As a senator, Hayden was known for his strong emphasis on issues important to his state, including irrigation, highways, and silver mining.
Civil rights
Hayden voted in favor of the 1957 Civil Rights Act,[3] though he also voted in favor of two amendments to significantly weaken the bill, one of them to delete additional authority for the Attorney General[4] (Title III[5]) and the other being a jury trial amendment.[6] Both were favored by segregationists, the latter being due to the fact that all civil rights cases in the South under the amendment would almost guarantee in the defendant being acquitted by a jury.[7]
Prior to the final vote on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Hayden joined segregationist Southern Democrats in voting in favor of the Gore Amendment to water down the legislation.[8][9] While he supported the final passage,[10] Hayden previously refused to join the majority of senators who voted to invoke cloture on the filibuster of the bill led by racist Southerners.[11][12]
