Henry Frederick Schricker (August 30, 1883 – December 28, 1966) was the 36th and 38th Governor of the U.S.
state of Indiana from 1941 to 1945 and from 1949 to 1953.
He is the only Indiana governor elected to two non-consecutive terms, and the only governor between 1852 and 1977 to be elected to more than one term in office.
His terms were marked by strong opposition party control of the Indiana General Assembly, which attempted to remove powers from the governor that had been granted during the Great Depression.
Schricker fought the attempt in the state courts, and although his power was significantly reduced, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled in the case of Tucker v.
Indiana that the governor was the chief executive of the state, and the legislature could not pass legislation that interfered with the division of powers.
