died Sept. 19, 1891, Mont-sous-Vaudrey
French politician who served as president (
1879–
87)
in the Third Republic.
A lawyer,
he was a leader of the liberal opposition in the legislature,
then became president of the National Assembly (
1871–
73)
and of the Chamber of Deputies (
1876).
In 1879 he was elected to the presidency and sought to minimize presidential powers,
preferring a strong legislature.
He resisted nationalist demands for revenge against Germany after the Franco-Prussian War and opposed colonial expansion.
He was forced to resign in 1887 by scandals affecting his son-
in-
law,
though he himself was not implicated.
