Birch Evans Bayh III is a former US politican.
Background
His father, Birch Bayh, was also a U.S. Senator from 1963 to 1981 and ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976.
Career
As Secretary of State of Indiana, Bayh first reached public office in 1986. Bayh was elected governor of Indiana in 1988, sitting until 1997. In 1999 he became a United States Senator from Indiana.
Bayh was an early supporter of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[1][2][3] On October 2, 2002, Bayh joined President George W. Bush and Congressional leaders in a ceremony announcing their agreement on the joint resolution authorizing the Iraq War, and was thanked by Bush and Senator John McCain for co-sponsoring the resolution.[4][5]
He voted yes on reauthorizing the Patriot Act in 2006.[6]
After the 2008 financial crisis, Bayh joined with his fellow senators in hurrying to bail out U.S. financial institutions. Addressing the launch of the "No Labels" political organization, he "described a scene from 2008 where Ben Bernanke warned senators that the sky would collapse if the banks weren't rescued. 'We looked at each other,' said Bayh, 'and said, okay, what do we need.'"[7]
He retired from Congress in 2011, becoming an unregistered lobbyist.[8]
He was a member of AIPAC's Committee for the Liberation of Iraq and Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran[9]
