Since 1911, the US House of Representatives has been fixed at 435 members, except for a brief period from 1959 to 1963 when it had 437 members, between the time that Alaska and Hawaii became states and the reapportionment following the 1960 census.

The number of seats in the House of Representatives is not set by the Constitution. It is set by a law passed by Congress.
