86th United States Congress
Encyclopedia
The Eighty-sixth 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, DC from January 3, 1959 to January 3, 1961, during the last two years of Dwight Eisenhower's presidency
. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives
was based on the Seventeenth Census of the United States in 1950
. Both chambers had a Democratic
majority. When Alaska and Hawaii were admitted as states in 1959, the membership of the House temporarily increased to 437 (seating one member from each of those newly-admitted states and leaving the apportionment of the other 435 seats unchanged); it would remain at 437 until reapportionment resulting from the 1960 census.
TOTAL members: 100
TOTAL members: 437. The increase over the usual 435 members was due to the admission of Alaska and Hawaii, whose seats were temporary until reapportionment following the 1960 Census
.
