Harlan represented the state of [[Iowa]] in the Senate as a member of the [[Free Soil Party]], in 1855. In 1857, the Senate declared the seat vacant because of irregularities in the legislative proceedings that first elected Harlan to the Senate. He was then re-elected to the Senate by the Iowa legislature as a [[United States Republican Party|Republican]] and continued to hold the Senate seat until 1865 when he resigned to become [[United States Secretary of the Interior|Secretary of the Interior]] under [[United States President|President]] [[Andrew Johnson]], an office he held until 1866. It was during this time that he fired the poet [[Walt Whitman]], who was working as a clerk in the department, because he found Whitman's book, ''Leaves of Grass'', to be "offensive".Later, Harlan was elected again to the Senate in 1867 and served until 1873.
