67th Congress of the United States

The 67th Congress of the United States , made up of the House and Senate , was the legislature of the United States . Its legislative term lasted from March 4, 1921 to March 4, 1923. All members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the senators ( Class III ) were elected in the state of Maine in the November 1920 and September congressional elections. This resulted in a majority in both chambers for the Republican Party , which, with Warren G. Harding, also provided the president. The only remaining role for the Democratic Party was in the opposition. During the legislative period there were a few resignations and deaths, but these did not change the majority. The Congress met in the American capital Washington, DC The United States at that time consisted of 48 states. The distribution of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the 1910 census .
