Butler Black Hare (November 25, 1875 – December 30, 1967) was an American politician who represented the state ofSouth Carolina in theU.S. House of Representatives.
Born to James and Elizabeth Hare (née Black), he was one of nine sons born to theCivil WarConfederate veteran. He graduated fromNewberry College and earned hislaw degree fromGeorge Washington University. He served his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1924, representing the2nd district of South Carolina. He served from 1925 to 1933, and then did not run again after redistricting eliminated a seat from South Carolina'scongressional delegation.[1]
He returned to the House in 1939 after defeating incumbentJohn Taylor. He served from 1939 to 1947 as the representative from the3rd District.[2] His main accomplishment as a Representative was authoring theHare–Hawes–Cutting Act, which grants a 10-yearCommonwealth status and proposed that the formerUS Territory of thePhilippines become an independent nation. It was later rejected by thePhilippine Senate.[3] The Act was later replaced with theTydings–McDuffie Act in 1934.[3]
