75th United States Congress


The 75th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States [House of Representatives]. It met in Washington, D.C., from January 3, 1937, to January 3, 1939, during the fifth and sixth years of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency.
The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the 1930 [United States census].
Both chambers had a Democratic supermajority, with the party increasing their majority in both the House and Senate, and with the reelection of President Roosevelt, maintained an overall federal government trifecta.
This is the most recent Congress to feature a 3/4th majority in the House or Senate by either party.
