[1] The Congress consisted of the 130-member Chamber of Representatives (Cámara de Representantes) and the 54-member Senate (Senado) in December 1958.
Meetings were interrupted by the Second Occupation of Cuba after the session of September 28, 1906.
Following the re-establishment of Cuban-based government in 1909 it met without interruption from January 13, 1909, until April 1933, a few months before President Gerardo Machado was overthrown.
Commencing with the provisional presidency of Carlos Mendieta a Consejo de estado (Council of State) undertook advisory legislative functions.
The Council of State was abolished in April, 1936 when the Cuban Congress finally resumed its session after three years of inactivity.
