He graduated from St. Louis Country Day School in 1946. After high school he joined the United States Navy, serving two years. Eagleton graduated from Amherst College in 1950 with an A.B. degree. A year later he was awarded a certificate from Oxford University and in 1953 he received an LL.B. degree from Harvard Law School. Eagleton married Barbara Ann Smith of St. Louis on 26 January 1956. A son, Terence, was born in 1959, and a daughter, Christin, was born in 1960. After graduating from law school, Eagleton entered private law practice in St. Louis with his father. He later became associated with the legal department of Anheuser-Busch. Eagleton soon became interested in politics. He was elected circuit attorney of the City of St. Louis in 1956; attorney general of Missouri in 1960 (the youngest man to ever hold the position); lieutenant governor of Missouri in 1964; and U.S. Senator from Missouri in 1968. He was twice reelected to the U.S. Senate, in 1974 and 1980. Eagleton was chosen for the Demo- cratic vice presidential candidate in 1972. He was asked to resign from the ticket, a month later, and was replaced by Sargent Shriver. During his three terms in the Senate, Eagleton served on the following committees: Appropriations Committee, Select Committee on Intelligence, Truman Scholarship Foundation, Governmental Affairs Committee, Foreign Relations Committee, Select Committee on Ethics, Labor and Human Resources Committee, Public Works Committee, Labor and Public Welfare Committee, District of Columbia Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, National Capital Planning Commission, Temporary Commission on Financial Oversight of the District of Columbia, Special Committee on Aging, and National Visitor Facilities Advisory Commission.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW CONGRESS: DOES IT ABDICATE ITS POWER?* ** ADDRESS OF THOMAS F. EAGLETON I. INTRODUCTION “Original Intent,” just what do these words mean? Justice Clarence Thomas1 often uses these two words — likewise, with the Wall Street Journal2 and Rush Limbaugh.3 Senate and House members resort to these words when it is convenient to do so.4 Today — just for today — I find it convenient to argue in favor of “original intent.” Today, I want to praise our Founding Fathers and argue that we should follow the letter and spirit of what they expressed in the Constitution with respect to how our nation goes to war. Today I am the Gabriel of original intent. II. THE CONSTITUTION Article I authorizes Congress, among other things, to “provide for the common defense;”5 to “declare war;”6 to “make rules for the government and regulation of land and naval forces;”7 to raise armies and navies;8 to make all * Originally published at 19 ST.
