11th CONGRESS- in General SENATE: 27 Republicans, 7 Federalists Although the latest date- as mandated by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Section 4, clause 2- for the convening of the "long" session of the 11th Congress was 4 December 1809, this Congress actually convened its "long" session on 27 November 1809. 11th CONGRESS-United States SENATE Samuel Smith, a Republican, was elected by the General Assembly of the State of MARYLAND to the Class 1 seat (term: 4 March 1809 to 3 March 1815) from that State before the end of the odd-numbered year in which the 11th Congress took office [this being 1809]. Senator Smith, therefore, is counted among the 27 Republicans elected to the Senate of the 11th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1809] due to a failure of the legislature to elect. Edward Tiffin, a Republican from OHIO, resigned from the Class 3 seat (term ending 3 March 1813) from that State on 3 March 1809, at the end of the preceding Congress; Alexander Campbell, also a Republican, was elected by the General Assembly of that State to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Tiffin on 11 December 1809, before the end of the odd-numbered year in which the 11th Congress took office [this being 1809]. Senator Campbell, therefore, is counted among the 27 Republicans elected to the Senate of the 11th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1809]. Joseph Anderson, a Republican, was elected by the General Assembly of the State of TENNESSEE to the Class 1 seat (term: 4 March 1809 to 3 March 1815) from that State before the end of the odd-numbered year in which the 11th Congress took office [this being 1809]. Senator Anderson, therefore, is counted among the 27 Republicans elected to the Senate of the 11th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1809] due to a failure of the legislature to elect. |
