73rd United States Congress
The
seventy-third 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 March 4, 1933 to January 3, 1935, during the first two years of
Franklin D. Roosevelt
's
presidency
. Because of the newly ratified
20th Amendment
, the duration of this Congress, along with the term of office of those elected to it, was shortened by the interval between January 3 and March 4, 1935 (61 days). The apportionment of seats in the
House of Representatives
was based on the
Fifteenth Census of the United States in 1930
. Both chambers had a
Democratic
majority.
