Theodore F. Green

During the McCarthy controversy he voted for censure of his Republican colleague Senator Joseph McCarthy. In 1959 with his health failing the 92-year-old Green resigned his chairmanship; he left the Senate at the conclusion of his term in 1961. Described as "the president's man" he was loyal to the Democratic presidents with whom he served and to a larger extent than many other northern Democrats to the Republican President Dwight D.

He was the grandnephew of Samuel G. Theodore Francis Green (October 2 1867 – May 19 1966) was an American politician from the U. state of Rhode Island.
