The Seventy-second United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, comprised of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, DC from March 4, 1931 to March 3, 1933, during the last two years of the administration of U.S. President Herbert Hoover.

The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Fourteenth Census of the United States in 1920. Both chambers had a Republican majority immediately after the 1930 elections, but vacancies and the special elections that filled them gave the Democrats a four vote majority by the time the first session started.

[edit] Rise of the Texas Democrats

The Seventy-second United States Congress was notable for the rise to power of a group of Democratic congressmen from Texas. The elections of 1930 had reduced the Republican majority to just two votes. Special elections before the first session of December 7, 1931 gave the Democrats a four vote majority.

John Nance Garner of Texas was elected Speaker of the House. Texas, then a solidly Democratic state, had several senior congressmen ready for appointment to chair key committees. Chairmanships for five key committes went to Texas Democrats: Interstate and Foreign Commerce, Rivers and Harbors Committee, Judiciary Committee, Agricultural Committee, and the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds.

Capitol Hill also saw in the 72nd Congress the first appearance of another Texas Democrat, albeit one who had not yet obtained substantial political power. Lyndon Baines Johnson first came to Washington as a secretary of Richard M. Kleberg in the 72nd Congress.
