- United States House of Representatives elections, 1798
The U.S. House election, 1798 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1798 which occurred in the middle of President John Adams' first term.
President Adams had remained popular during this time period and the nation was undergoing economic expansion. As a result, the majority Federalist Party picked up several new seats to increase their majority.
It should be noted that in this period each state fixed its own date for a congressional general election. This article covers all such state elections to the 6th Congress. Elections to a Congress took place both in the even-numbered year before and in the odd-numbered year when the Congress convened. In some states the congressional delegation was not elected until after the legal start of the Congress (on the 4th day of March in the odd numbered year).
