1963–1965 U.S. Congress
The88th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of theUnited States Senate and theUnited States House of Representatives . It met inWashington, D.C. , from January 3, 1963, to January 3, 1965, during the final months of thepresidency ofJohn F. Kennedy , and the first years of thepresidency of his successor,Lyndon B. Johnson . The apportionment of seats in thisHouse of Representatives was based on the1960 United States census , and the number of members was again 435 (it had temporarily been 437 in order to seat one member each from recently admitted states of Alaska and Hawaii).
Both chambers maintained aDemocratic majority - including afilibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate - and with President Kennedy, the Democrats maintained an overall federal governmenttrifecta .
To date, this is the earliest Congress with members still living,Alec G. Olson andDon Fuqua .
