- George Franklin Edmunds (* 1. Februar 1828 in Richmond, Vermont; † 27. Februar 1919 in Pasadena, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker (Republikanische Partei), der den Bundesstaat Vermont im US-Senat vertrat. George Edmunds besuchte als Junge die öffentlichen Schulen, erhielt aber auch Privatunterricht. Nach seinem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften wurde er 1849 in die Anwaltskammer aufgenommen und eröffnete eine Kanzlei in Burlington. Politisch wurde er erstmals 1854 als Abgeordneter im Repräsentantenhaus von Vermont aktiv, wo er bis 1859 verblieb; dabei war er drei Jahre der Speaker der Kammer. Danach wechselte er in den Staatssenat und war von 1861 bis 1862 dessen Präsident pro tempore. Nach dem Tod von US-Senator Solomon Foot im März 1866 wurde George Edmunds zu dessen Nachfolger ernannt. Er nahm den Sitz ab dem 3. April ein und behielt ihn nach mehreren Wiederwahlen bis zum 1. November 1891. Während dieser Zeit war er unter anderem eine treibende Kraft beim Impeachment gegen Präsident Andrew Johnson im Jahr 1868. Nach der Präsidentschaftswahl 1876 war er einflussreiches Mitglied jener Senatskommission, die nach dem knappen und umstrittenen Ergebnis die Entscheidung zu Gunsten des republikanischen Kandidaten Rutherford B. Hayes traf. 1880 und 1884 gehörte er jeweils selbst zum Bewerberkreis seiner Partei für das Präsidentenamt. Edmunds war für seine juristischen und politischen Kenntnisse sowie seine liberalen Ansichten bekannt. Mit dem brachte er einen Gesetzentwurf ein, dessen Ratifizierung die Polygamie in Utah zu einer Straftat erklärte. Edmunds wirkte auch am Sherman Antitrust Act mit. Von 1883 bis 1885 war er Präsident pro tempore des Senats; von 1885 bis 1891 stand er als Republican Conference Chairman der Fraktion seiner Partei vor. Überdies fungierte er während seiner Zeit im Senat unter anderem als Vorsitzender des Pensionsausschusses, des Justizausschusses und des auswärtigen Ausschusses. 1891 trat George Edmunds als Senator zurück, um wieder seiner juristischen Tätigkeit in Philadelphia nachgehen zu können. Später setzte er sich dann in Pasadena zur Ruhe, wo er 1919 starb. Noch zu Lebzeiten wurde er durch die Benennung der Stadt Edmonds im Staat Washington nach ihm gewürdigt; allerdings schrieben die Stadtgründer seinen Namen falsch. Seit 1895 war er gewähltes Mitglied der American Philosophical Society. (de)
- George Franklin Edmunds (February 1, 1828 – February 27, 1919) was a Republican U.S. Senator from Vermont. Before entering the U.S. Senate, he served in a number of high-profile positions, including Speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives, and President pro tempore of the Vermont State Senate. Edmunds was born in Richmond, Vermont and began to study law while still a teenager; he proved an adept student, and was admitted to the bar as soon as he reached the minimum required age of 21. He practiced in Burlington and became active in local politics and government. After terms in the Vermont House of Representatives and Vermont State Senate, Edmunds was appointed to the U.S. Senate in 1866, filling the vacancy caused by the death of Solomon Foot. He was subsequently elected by the Vermont General Assembly, and reelected in 1868, 1874, 1880, and 1886. Edmunds served from April 1866 until resigning in November 1891. As a longtime member of the U.S. Senate, he served in a variety of leadership posts, including chairman of the Committee on Pensions, the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Private Land Claims, and the Committee on Foreign Relations. He was also the leader of the Senate's Republicans in his roles as President pro tempore of the Senate and chairman of the Republican Conference. Edmunds was an unsuccessful candidate for president at the 1880 and 1884 Republican National Conventions. After leaving the Senate he practiced law in Philadelphia. He later lived in retirement in Pasadena, California, where he died in 1919. He was buried at Green Mount Cemetery in Burlington, Vermont. Two years following his death, a published autobiography by Richard F. Pettigrew accused Edmunds of being a "senatorial bribe-taker" and "distinctly dishonest." (en)
