'''Henry John Hyde''' (April 18, 1924 – November 29, 2007) was an American politician who served as a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] member of the [[United States House of Representatives]] from 1975 to 2007, representing the [[Illinois' 6th congressional district|6th District]] of [[Illinois]], an area of [[Chicago]]'s northwestern suburbs. He was Chairman of the [[U.S. House Judiciary Committee|Judiciary Committee]] from 1995 to 2001, and the [[U.S. House Committee on International Relations|House International Relations Committee]] from 2001 to 2007. Hyde is most famous for being a vocal opponent of [[abortion]]; to this end, he was the primary sponsor of the [[Hyde Amendment]], which largely bars the payment of abortions with federal funds.

==Early life and education==
Hyde was born in Chicago, the son of Monica (Kelly) and Henry Clay Hyde.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anb.org/articles/07/07-00848.html |title=Hyde, Henry John |work=American National Biography Online}}</ref> His father was [[English people|English]] and his mother was [[Irish Catholic]]. His family supported the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]]. Hyde graduated from [[St. George High School (Evanston, Illinois)|St. George High School]] in 1942.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/6/7/18657212/henry-hyde-amendement-abortion-federal-funds-biden-president-campaign |title=Henry Hyde, the man behind the anti-abortion amendment Biden now opposes |date=7 June 2019 |work=Chicago Sun-Times}}</ref> He attended [[Duke University]], where he joined the [[Sigma Chi]] fraternity, graduated from [[Georgetown University]] and obtained his J.D. degree from [[Loyola University Chicago School of Law]]. Hyde played [[college basketball|basketball]] for the [[Georgetown Hoyas]] where he helped take the team to the [[1943 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1943]] championship game.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thehoya.com/georgetown-mourns-death-of-henry-hyde/ |title=Georgetown Mourns Death of Henry Hyde |newspaper=The Hoya |date=December 4, 2007 |first1=Caitlin |last1=McDevitt |first2=Max |last2=Sarinsky |name-list-style=amp |archive-date=November 16, 2018 |access-date=February 26, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116090521/http://www.thehoya.com/georgetown-mourns-death-of-henry-hyde/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> He served in the [[United States Navy|Navy]] during [[World War II]]. He remained in the [[United States Navy Reserve|Naval Reserve]] from 1946 to 1968, as an officer in charge of the U.S. Naval Intelligence Reserve Unit in Chicago. He retired at the rank of [[Commander (United States)|Commander]]. In 1955, Hyde joined the [[Knights of Columbus]], and was a member of Father McDonald Council 1911 in [[Elmhurst, Illinois]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kofc.org/en/news/releases/515788.html |website=Knights of Columbus |title="Few In Public Life Have Served As Well," Supreme Knight Says. |date=November 29, 2007 |access-date=January 23, 2017 |archive-date=November 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116105035/http://www.kofc.org/en/news/releases/515788.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

He was married to Jeanne Simpson Hyde from 1947 until her death in 1992; he had four children and four grandchildren.<ref name=bio>{{cite web |url=http://www.house.gov/hyde/bio.htm |title=Official biography |website=U.S. House of Representatives |access-date=2013-02-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030207111828/http://www.house.gov/hyde/bio.htm |archive-date=February 7, 2003}} at Hyde's congressional site</ref>

==Political career==
Hyde's political views began drifting rightward after his collegiate years. By 1952, he had become a Republican and supported [[Dwight Eisenhower]] for president.<ref name=bio/> He made his first run for Congress in 1962, losing to [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] incumbent [[Roman Pucinski]] in the 11th District.

Hyde was elected to the [[Illinois House of Representatives]] in 1967 and served as [[Majority Leader of the Illinois House of Representatives|Majority Leader]] from 1971 to 1972. He served in the Illinois House until 1974, when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in November, 1974 as one of the few bright spots in what was a disastrous year for Republicans in the wake of the [[Watergate scandal]]. He faced a bruising contest against former [[Cook County, Illinois|Cook County]] state's attorney [[Edward Hanrahan]], but was elected by 8,000 votes.

===Political positions and legislation===
Hyde was one of the most vocal and persistent opponents of [[abortion]] in American politics and was the chief sponsor of the eponymous [[Hyde Amendment]] to the House Appropriations bill that prohibited the use of federal funds to pay for elective abortions through [[Medicaid]]. In 1981, however, he and U.S. Senator [[Jake Garn]] of [[Utah]], another abortion opponent, broke with the [[United States pro-life movement|National Pro-Life Political Action Committee]], when its executive director, [[Peter Gemma]], issued a "hit list" to target members of both houses of Congress who supported [[Abortion rights in the United States|abortion rights]]. Hyde said such lists are counterproductive because they create irrevocable discord among legislators, any of whom can be subject to a "single issue" attack of this kind. Gemma said he was surprised by the withdrawal of Garn and Hyde from the PAC committee but continued with plans to spend $650,000 for the 1982 elections on behalf of anti-abortion candidates.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/06/07/weekinreview/the-nation-congressmen-draw-the-line-at-new-hit-list.html|title=The Nation: Congressmen; Draw the Line at; New 'Hit List'|date=June 7, 1981|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=May 23, 2016}}</ref> In 1993 the 1976 Hyde Amendment law was amended to allow payments for abortions in case of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=b6h&AN=11061447&site=ehost-live |title=Unknown |work=EBSCO Industries |access-date=2019-02-02 |url-access=subscription}}</ref>

An original sponsor of the [[Brady Bill]] requiring background checks for gun buyers, Hyde broke with his party in 1994 when he supported a ban on the sale of [[semi-automatic firearm]]s. An original sponsor of family leave legislation, Hyde said the law promoted "[[capitalism]] with a human face." Hyde played a key role in the reauthorization of the [[Voting Rights Act]] in 1981.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/henry-j-hyde-a-power-in-the-house-of-representativ|title=Henry J. Hyde, a Power in the House of Representatives, Dies at 83|date=November 30, 2007 }}</ref>

He was also involved in debates over U.S.-[[Soviet Union|Soviet]] relations, [[Central America]] policy, the [[War Powers Resolution|War Powers Act]], [[NATO]] expansion and the investigation of the [[Iran-Contra]] affair, and sponsored the [[United Nations Reform Act of 2005]],<ref>{{USBill|109|HR|2745}}</ref> a bill that ties payment of U.S. dues for [[United Nations]] operations to reform of the institution's management.

===House committees===
Hyde was a member of the [[U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary|House Judiciary Committee]] for his entire tenure in the House. He was its chairman from 1995 until 2001, during which time he served as the lead [[Impeachment manager|manager]] during the [[President Clinton impeachment trial]].

From 1985 until 1991, Hyde was the ranking Republican on the House Select Committee on Intelligence.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.house.gov/hyde/bio.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020705150852/http://www.house.gov/hyde/bio.htm | archive-date=July 5, 2002 | title=Biography }}</ref> Hyde and the committee's senior Democrat, U.S. Rep. [[Tom Lantos]] (D-[[California|CA]]), authored America's worldwide response to the [[HIV]]/[[AIDS]] crisis in 2003 and landmark foreign assistance legislation creating the [[Millennium Challenge Corporation]] and expanding U.S. funding for successful microenterprise initiatives.

===Savings and Loan scandal===
{{Main|Savings and loan crisis}}
In 1981, after leaving the [[House Banking Committee]], Hyde went on the [[board of directors]] of [[Clyde Federal Savings and Loan]], whose chairman was one of Hyde's political contributors. According to [[Salon.com]], from 1982 until he left the board in 1984, Hyde used his position on the board of directors to promote the savings and loan's investment in risky financial options. In 1990, the federal government put Clyde in [[receivership]], and paid $67 million to cover insured deposits. In 1993, the [[Resolution Trust Corporation]] sued Hyde and other directors for $17.2 million. Four years later, before pretrial investigation and depositions, the government settled with the defendants for $850,000 and made an arrangement exempting Hyde from paying anything. According to Salon.com, Hyde was the only member of the congress sued for "gross negligence" in an S&L failure.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/06/07/hyde/index.html |title=The real Henry Hyde scandal |first=David |last=Moberg |date=June 7, 1999 |website=Salon |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071202085208/http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/06/07/hyde/index.html |archive-date=2007-12-02}}</ref>

===Iran–Contra investigation===

{{Main|Iran–Contra affair}}
As a member of the congressional panel investigating the Iran-Contra affair, Hyde vigorously defended the [[Ronald Reagan]] administration, and a number of the participants who had been accused of various crimes, particularly [[Oliver North]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE4DA1031F935A15756C0A961948260 |title=Republicans on Iran-Contra panel at odds over best tactics to use |first=Fox |last=Butterfield |date=1987-05-26 |work=The New York Times}}</ref> Quoting [[Thomas Jefferson]], Hyde argued that although various individuals had lied in testimony before Congress, their actions were excusable because they were in support of the goal of fighting [[communism]].<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-dec-04-mn-50567-story.html |title=Hyde View on Lying Is Back Haunting Him |first=David G. |last=Savage |date=1998-12-04 |work=Los Angeles Times}}</ref>

[[File:Henry Hyde during the Clinton impeachment trial on January 7, 1999 (01).png|Hyde reads the [[Article of impeachment|articles of impeachment]] to the Senate on January 7, 1999|thumb]]

Hyde argued that the House had a constitutional and civic duty to impeach [[Bill Clinton]] for [[perjury]]. In the Resolution on Impeachment of the President, Hyde wrote:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://judiciary.house.gov/Legacy/101370.htm |title=Statement of The Honorable Henry J. Hyde |first=Henry |last=Hyde |date=December 18, 1998 |website=[[House Judiciary Committee]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517141350/http://judiciary.house.gov/Legacy/101370.htm |archive-date=2011-05-17}}</ref>

{{blockquote|What we are telling you today are not the ravings of some vast right-wing conspiracy, but a reaffirmation of a set of values that are tarnished and dim these days, but it is given to us to restore them so our Founding Fathers would be proud. It's your country—the President is our flag bearer, out in front of our people. The flag is falling, my friends—I ask you to catch the falling flag as we keep our appointment with history.}}

Clinton was impeached by the House on two charges: perjury and obstruction of justice. Hyde served as chief [[House manager]] (prosecutor) at the President's trial in the Senate; he became known for his remarks in his closing argument:

{{blockquote|A failure to convict will make the statement that lying under oath, while unpleasant and to be avoided, is not all that serious ... We have reduced lying under oath to a breach of etiquette, but only if you are the President ... And now let us all take our place in history on the side of honor, and, oh, yes, let right be done.}}

Despite Hyde's efforts, President Clinton was acquitted of both perjury and obstruction of justice. With a two-thirds majority required for conviction, only 45 senators voted for conviction on the perjury charge and only 50 on the obstruction of justice charge.<ref name=senvoteaii>{{cite web  |author=Senate LIS  |title=U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 106th Congress – 1st Session: vote number 18 – Guilty or Not Guilty (Art II, Articles of Impeachment v.

Despite being on opposites sides during the impeachment, Hyde was good friends with representative [[Barney Frank]] who praised his efforts to keep the impeachment "personality free".<ref>{{cite news| title= Rep. Barney Frank, Minority Wit |author= Sally Quinn |newspaper= [[The Washington Post]] |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/frank121898.htm}}</ref>

===Extramarital affair===
While Hyde was spearheading [[Impeachment of Bill Clinton|the impeachment]] of President [[Bill Clinton]] amid the revelations of the [[Clinton–Lewinsky affair]], it was revealed that Hyde himself had conducted an extramarital sexual affair with a former beauty stylist named Cherie Snodgrass, who was also married. Hyde admitted to the affair and called the relationship a "youthful indiscretion". He was 41 years old and married when the affair occurred. Hyde said the affair ended when Snodgrass' husband confronted Mrs. Hyde. At the time, Snodgrass was 29, also married and had three children.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/hyde091798.htm |title=Report of Hyde Affair Stirs Anger |date=September 17, 1998 |first=Howard |last=Kurtz |page=A15 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]}}</ref>

The Snodgrasses divorced in 1967. The Hydes reconciled and remained married until Mrs. Hyde's death in 1992.<ref name=talbot>{{cite web |url=http://www.salon.com/news/1998/09/cov_16newsb.html |title=This hypocrite broke up my family |first=David |last=Talbot |date=18 September 1998 |website=Salon |access-date=2014-12-09 |url-status=dead  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000511115508/http://www.salon.com/news/1998/09/cov_16newsb.html |archive-date=May 11, 2000}}</ref>

===9/11 and the Iraq War===

[[File:Henry Hyde and Colin Powell.jpg|thumb|right|Hyde with [[United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State]] [[Colin Powell]] to discuss foreign relations, November 2003]]
As Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Hyde was involved in some of the highest level debates concerning the response to the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001. In the aftermath of the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], Hyde cautioned against attacking Iraq in the absence of clear evidence of Iraqi complicity, telling [[CNN]]'s [[Robert Novak]] that it "would be a big mistake."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3827/is_200110/ai_n8973244/print |title=Do we need a war with Iraq? |first=Terence P. |last=Jeffrey |date=October 29, 2001 |website=[[Human Events]]}}</ref> One year later, however, he voted in support of the October 10, 2002 [[Iraq Resolution|House resolution that authorized]] the president to go to war with Iraq. In response to Rep. [[Ron Paul]]'s resolution requesting a formal [[declaration of war]], Hyde stated: "There are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events, by time. Declaration of war is one of them. ... Inappropriate, anachronistic, it isn't done anymore."<ref name="scspeech">{{cite web |url=http://archive.lewrockwell.com/yates/yates92.html |title=An Evening With Dr. Ron Paul |access-date=2007-06-13 |first=Steven |last=Yates |date=2004-04-07 |website=Lew Rockwell |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140313213431/http://archive.lewrockwell.com/yates/yates92.html |archive-date=2014-03-13 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2006, Hyde made the following observation in regard to the [[George W. Bush administration|Bush Administration]]'s proclaimed objective of promoting [[democracy]] in the [[Middle East]]:

{{blockquote|Lashing our interests to the indiscriminate promotion of democracy is a tempting but unwarranted strategy, more a leap of faith than a sober calculation. There are other negative consequences as well. A broad and energetic promotion of democracy in other countries that will not enjoy our long-term and guiding presence may equate not to peace and stability but to revolution.<ref>Hyde, Henry. "Perils of the Golden Theory", speech in Congress on February 26, 2006.</ref>}}

==Retirement==
Hyde was reelected 15 times with no substantive opposition. This was mainly because, over time, his district was pushed further into [[DuPage County, Illinois|DuPage County]], a longstanding bastion of suburban Republicanism. However, by the turn of the century, the demographics of his district shifted, leading his 2004 Democratic challenger Christine Cegelis to garner over 44% of the vote—Hyde's closest race since his initial run for the seat. On April 18, 2005 (his 81st birthday), Hyde announced on his website that he would retire at the expiration of his term (in January 2007).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7549965 |title=Rep. Henry Hyde announces retirement |website=[[NBC News]] |date=19 April 2005}}</ref> A few days earlier, it had been reported that Illinois Republicans were expecting this announcement, and it was further reported that Illinois State Senator [[Peter Roskam]] had emerged as a leading contender for the Republican Party's nomination. In August 2005, Hyde endorsed Roskam as his successor.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2005/08/05/hyde-endorses-roskam/ |title=Hyde endorses Roskam |date=August 5, 2005 |work=Chicago Tribune}}</ref>

===Order of St. Gregory===
Hyde was named a Papal Knight of the [[Order of St. Gregory the Great]] by [[Pope Benedict XVI]] in 2006, in recognition of his longtime support for political issues important to the Roman Catholic Church.

===Presidential Medal of Freedom===
Hyde received the [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]], the nation's highest civilian honor, on November 5, 2007, awarded by President Bush.<ref>{{cite web |title=Citations Recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom |url=https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2007/11/20071105-7.html |date=November 5, 2007 |work=The White House |access-date=March 11, 2013}}</ref> Hyde was hospitalized, recovering from open-heart surgery, and could not attend the ceremony in person.

==Death==
Hyde died November 29, 2007, nearly eleven months after leaving office, at [[Rush University Medical Center]] in Chicago following complications from [[open heart surgery]] at Provena Mercy Medical Center in [[Aurora, Illinois]] several months earlier. His funeral Mass was presided by Cardinal [[Francis George]] of Chicago, and was attended by several dignitaries, including then Speaker of the House [[Nancy Pelosi]] and future Speaker of the House John [[Boehner]], at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Saint Charles, Illinois.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dailyregister.com/x2031288574 |title=Video: Henry Hyde laid to rest |date=8 December 2007 |work=The Daily Register}}</ref>
