Everything about Armand Falli Res totally explained
Clément Armand Fallières (
November 6 1841 –
June 22 1931) was a
French politician,
president of the French republic from
1906 to
1913.
He was born at
Mézin in the
département of
Lot-et-Garonne,
France, where his father was clerk of the peace. He studied
law and became an advocate at
Nérac, beginning his public career there as municipal councillor (1868), afterwards mayor (1871), and as councillor-general of the
département of Lot-et-Garonne (1871). Being an ardent
Republican, he lost this position in May
1873 upon the fall of
Thiers, but in February 1876 was elected deputy for Nérac. In the chamber he sat with the Republican Left, signed the protestation of
May 18 1877, and was re-elected five months later.
In
1880 he became under-secretary of state in the department of the interior in
Jules Ferry's ministry (May 1880 to November 1881). From
August 7 1882 to
February 20 1883 he was minister of the interior, and for a month (from
January 29 1883) was
prime minister. His ministry had to face the question of the expulsion of the pretenders to the throne of France, owing to the proclamation by
Jérôme Napoleon Bonaparte (January 1883).
Fallières, who was ill at the time, wasn't able to face the storm of opposition, and resigned when the
senate rejected his project. The following November, however, he was chosen as minister of public instruction by
Jules Ferry, and carried out various reforms in the school system.
He resigned in March
1885, becoming minister of the interior in
Maurice Rouvier's cabinet two years later. He exchanged his portfolio in December for that of the department of justice. He returned again to the ministry of the interior in February 1889, and finally retook the department of justice from March 1890 to February 1892. In June 1890 his
département (Lot-et-Garonne) elected him to the senate by 417 votes to 23. There Fallières remained independent of party struggles, although maintaining his influence among the Republicans.
In March 1899 he was elected president of the senate, and retained that position until January 1906, when he was chosen by a union of the groups of the Left in both chambers as candidate for the presidency of the republic. He was elected on the first ballot by 449 votes against 371 for his opponent,
Paul Doumer.
Fallieres was an outspoken opponent of the
death penalty and gave pardon to many prisoners sentenced to death.
