Andrew Volstead is best remembered as the author of the Volstead Act (officially known as the National Prohibition Act of 1919), which permitted enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (the Prohibition Amendment). The Volstead Act was vetoed by President Woodrow Wilson but overridden by Congress. It appears that the author of the bill was largely Wayne Wheeler, the de facto leader of the Anti-Saloon League. It was Wheeler who conceived and largely drafted the bill, although Volstead denied that assertion. Volstead was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and it was his job to sponsor the legislation. Nevertheless, Prohibition transformed the name of an otherwise obscure legislator from Minnesota into a household word. The name Volstead was cursed by some, praised by others, but known by all.
The 66th United States Congress passed the Volstead Act October 28, 1919. It was first introduced in the House by Andrew Volstead.
