He faced controversy due to his self-declared republican and social democratic views.
Vogt was born on 11 August 1880 in Balzers as the son of his father by the same name and Cölestina Frick as one of seven children.
[1] In 1920, Vogt was a member of the Christian-Social People's Party's delegation towards the negotiations of the appointment of Josef Peer as Governor of Liechtenstein, in which the party opposed his appointment as they believed that the position should only be occupied by Liechtensteiners.
[1][5] Vogt defended himself by stating that he had only done so out of frustration towards Prince Karl Aloys, as he believed that his speech in the Landtag was defamatory against Wilhelm Beck, and that it was not directed against Johann II.
He then went on to marry Maria Barbara Bischof (26 January 1896 – 29 June 1960) on 27 November 1922 and they had another three children together.
