Career
Clare Fenerty attended public schools in his home country and then, until 1916, Saint Joseph's College , also in Philadelphia. During World War I , he served in the US Navy in 1917 and 1918 . After a subsequent law degree at the University of Pennsylvania and his admission to the bar in 1921, he began to work in Philadelphia in this profession. Between 1924 and 1929 he was a member of the law school of the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School . From 1928 to 1940 he was also a member of a committee for the revision of the laws of the city of Philadelphia ( Member of the Philadelphia Board of Law Examiners ). He was also an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia from 1928 to 1935.
Politically, Fenerty was a member of the Republican Party . In the 1934 congressional elections , he was elected to the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC , in the third constituency of Pennsylvania , where he succeeded Alfred M.

During this time, more New Deal laws were passed by the Roosevelt government, which Fenerty's party was rather hostile to. In 1935, the provisions of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution were applied for the first time , according to which the legislative period of the Congress ends or begins on January 3rd.
After the end of his time in the US House of Representatives, Fenerty initially practiced as a lawyer again. He was an appellate judge in Philadelphia from 1939 until his death on July 1, 1952.
