Question: In what state did the author of the Bradley Amendment serve as senator?
Context: The Helms Amendment, also known as the Helms Amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act, is a 1973 amendment, passed by the U.S. Congress in the wake of the Roe v. Wade decision by the United States Supreme Court, to limit the use of US foreign assistance for abortion.  Named after North Carolina senator Jesse Helms, the amendment states that "no foreign assistance funds may be used to pay for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions."  In addition, this amendment overturned previous rulings that state that the unborn is not a "person" yet and therefore does not have constitutional rights, changing the stance on abortion not only in funding but also in the courts.  However, if one is able to afford an abortion, amendment allows for post-abortion care. Proposition 4 of 1911 (or Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8) was an amendment of the Constitution of California that granted women the right to vote in the state for the first time.  Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 was sponsored by Republican State Senator C.W. Bell from southern California.  It was adopted by the California State Legislature and approved by voters in a referendum held as part of a special election on October 10, 1911. Lee Slater Overman (January 3, 1854December 12, 1930) was a Democratic U.S. senator from the state of North Carolina between 1903 and 1930.  He was the first US Senator to be elected by popular vote in the state, as the legislature had appointed senators prior to passage of the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution authorizing popular elections of senators.  He served the state of North Carolina until 1930 when he died when he was two years into his fifth term of being a senator. The Byrd Amendment—named for its author, Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. of Virginia—was a 1971 amendment to the U.S. Federal Strategic and Critical Materials Stock Piling Act.  It prohibited the US government from banning the importation of any strategic material from a non-communist country as long as the importation of the same materials from communist countries was also not prohibited.  While it did not single out any particular country, it had the effect–intended by its sponsors–of creating an exception in the United States embargo of Rhodesia to enable the import of chromite ore from that country. Edward E. Bradley, born in New Haven, Connecticut on January 5, 1845, was the twenty eightieth Adjutant General of the State of Connecticut.

Bradley during 1901 to 1903 was the president of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce.  He was commissioner of the public parks of New Haven from 1888 to 1901, and in 1910 became the president of the parks commission.  Bradley was president of the Governor’s staff Association of Connecticut from 1903 to 1911.

The Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment, also known as the Hatch Amendment, is a United States constitutional amendment proposed in July 2003 by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) to repeal the natural born citizen clause prohibiting citizens who were naturalized from holding the office of President or Vice President of the United States.  Hatch's amendment would allow anyone who has been a US citizen for twenty years to seek these offices.  In the wake of the California recall election, 2003, this proposal was widely seen as an attempt to make California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (born in Austria and naturalized in 1983) eligible for the presidency and is sometimes nicknamed "Arnold bill" or "Amend for Arnold".  However, there are other politicians who were not born as American citizens and therefore would benefit from such an amendment.  Notables include Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm (born in Canada, naturalized in 1980), former Florida Senator Mel Martinez (born in Cuba), former United States Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (born in Czechoslovakia), former Vermont governor Madeleine Kunin (born in Switzerland), and current Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao (born in Taiwan).

Seward of New York introduced the amendment in the Senate and Representative Thomas Corwin of Ohio introduced it in the House of Representatives.  Prior to the American Civil War, it was one of several measures considered by Congress in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to attract the seceding states back into the Union and in an attempt to entice border slave states to stay.
