Major political events

The special session of the Senate was called by President Calvin Coolidge on February 14, 1925.

On April 1 1926, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Judge George W. English of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Illinois. Both Houses of Congress agreed to adjourn on July 3 1926, with the Senate scheduled to reconvene on November 10 1926 as a Court of Impeachment.
