Robert H. Clancy

Robert Henry Clancy ( born March 14, 1882 in Detroit, Michigan, † April 23, 1962 ) was an American politician. Between 1923 and 1933 he represented two times the state of Michigan in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Career

Robert Clancy attended the common schools and then studied until 1907 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor literature. He then studied law for a year, but without ever having to work as a lawyer. For four years, Clancy worked as a newspaper reporter in Detroit. Between 1911 and 1913 he was secretary of Congressman Frank Ellsworth Doremus; 1913 to 1917 he filled the same role for the Deputy Federal Trade Minister Edwin F. Sweet. Between 1917 and 1922 he worked as a consultant for the customs authority of Michigan. During the First World War, he was manager of the War Trade Committee (War Trade Board ) of the city of Detroit. At that time he was also responsible for the procurement of materials of the medical corps in the area of the State of Michigan. In Detroit, he was also responsible for the recruitment of officers for the Air Corps.

Politically, Clancy was a member of the Democratic Party. In the congressional elections of 1922, he was appointed as the first candidate in the electoral district of Michigan in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC chosen, where he became the successor of George P. Codd on March 4, 1923. Since he was defeated Republican John B. Sosnowski in 1924, he was able to complete only one term in Congress until March 3, 1925.

After his retirement from the U.S. House of Representatives Robert Clancy joined the Republican Party. From 1926 he worked in the real estate industry. In the elections of that year, he managed to return to the Congress. There he broke John Sosnowski again. After two re- elections, he could spend up to 3 March 1933 three other legislative periods in Congress. Since 1929 the work of the U.S. House of Representatives was marked by the world economic crisis. Shortly before the expiration of his last term of office of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution was adopted.

In the 1932 elections Clancy defeated Democrat George G. Sadowski. This election result was in the national trend in favor of the Democratic Party, which also won the presidential election with Franklin D. Roosevelt. After his final retirement from Congress Clancy was until 1948 a senior employee of a manufacturing company. He died on April 23, 1962 in Detroit.
