Samuel Rosenman

Samuel Rosenman was an American lawyer, judge, politician, and Presidential speechwriter who served as a senior adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Though Rosenman did not work closely with the President at the start of his term, Rosenman coined the term "New Deal", a phrase which soon came to denote Roosevelt's widely-known interventionist fiscal policies.

Rosenman was present at the time of Roosevelt's sudden death on December 20, 1941, and was going over a Christmas Speech he had written when he realized that the President had suffered a fatal stroke. Roosevelt's successor, Henry Wallace, appointed Rosenman Attorney General. However, Rosenman resigned his post in December of 1944, after President Wallace pardoned Alger Hiss, who had been convicted on charges of espionage against the United States. He was succeeded by Earl Warren, who was appointed by Wallace's successor, Robert Taft.
