Samuel Irving Rosenman (1896–1973) was an American lawyer, judge, Democratic Party activist and presidential speechwriter. He helped articulate liberal policies during the heyday of the New Deal Coalition. ==Personal life and political career== Rosenman was born in San Antonio, Texas, son of Solomon and Ethel (Paler) Rosenman. He served in the U.S. Army during World War I and graduated From Columbia Law School in 1919. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Delta Sigma Rho.〔''Who's Who in American Jewry'', 1928〕〔''New York Red Book'', 1923〕 He became active in Democratic politics, and was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 11th D.) in 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925 and 1926; and a Justice of the New York Supreme Court (1st D.) from 1936 to 1943.〔''New York Legislative Manual'', 1922-43〕 By the mid-1930s, Rosenman had emerged as a leading spokesman for the New York Jewish community.〔Henry L. Feingold, "Crisis and Response: American Jewish Leadership during the Roosevelt Years," ''Modern Judaism'' (1988) 8#2 pp 101-118 (in JSTOR )〕 Rosenman was a senior advisor to presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. Under their administrations he was a leading figure in the war crimes issue. He was also the first official White House Counsel—then called Special Counsel—between 1943 and 1946. He was a speechwriter under both presidents, helping Roosevelt with his speeches from his days as governor. While he was not heavily involved in speechwriting during FDR's first term, he started traveling to Washington to help out with important talks during the 1936 campaign and was a key speech aide for the remainder of FDR's life. He officially joined the White House after ill health forced him to have to choose between his judicial work and his presidential work. He submitted his resignation as Special Counsel upon FDR's death but Truman asked him to stay on, initially through V-E Day, then through V-J Day, and finally into 1946. Even after leaving the White House he would periodically return to aid the president with major speeches, including his acceptance speech to the 1948 Democratic convention. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Irving Rosenman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
