The special session of the Senate was called by President Coolidge on February 14, 1925.
On April 1 1926, the House of Representatives impeached Judge George W. English of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Illinois. Both Houses adjourned on July 3 1926, with the Senate scheduled to reconvene on November 10 1926 as a Court of Impeachment. English resigned before the impeachment trial began. The Senate met as planned on November 10 1926 to adjourn the court of impeachment sine die. On December 13 1926 the Senate, acting on advice from the House managers of the impeachment, formally dismissed all charges against Judge English.

The names of members of the House of Representatives elected statewide on the general ticket or otherwise at-large, are preceded by an "A/L," and the names of those elected from districts, whether plural or single member, are preceded by their district numbers.Many of the congressional district numbers are linked to articles describing the district itself. Since the boundaries of the districts have changed often and substantially, the linked article may only describe the district as it exists today, and not as it was at the time of this Congress.
