The 33 seats of Class 2 were contested in regular elections. Special elections were also held to fill vacancies.

Kennedy in June 1968.

Censure is a formal,public,group condemnation of an individual,often a group member,whose actions run counter to the group's acceptable standards for individual behavior. In the United States,governmental censure is done when a body's members wish to publicly reprimand the president of the United States,a member of Congress,a judge or a cabinet member. It is a formal statement of disapproval. It relies on the target's sense of shame or their constituents' subsequent disapproval,without which it has little practical effect when done on members of Congress and no practical effect when done on the president.

John Young Brown was an American politician from the U.S. Commonwealth of Kentucky who represented the state in the United States House of Representatives and served as its 31st governor. Brown was elected to the House of Representatives for three non-consecutive terms,each of which was marred by controversy. He was first elected in 1859,despite his own protests that he was not yet twenty-five years old,the minimum age set by the Constitution for serving in the legislature. The voters of his district elected him anyway,but he was not allowed to take his seat until the Congress' second session,after he was of legal age to serve. After moving to Henderson,Kentucky,Brown was elected from that district in 1866. On this occasion,he was denied his seat because of alleged disloyalty to the Union during the Civil War. Voters in his district refused to elect another representative,and the seat remained vacant throughout the term to which Brown was elected. After an unsuccessful gubernatorial bid in 1871,Brown was again elected to the House in 1872 and served three consecutive terms. During his final term,he was officially censured for delivering a speech excoriating Massachusetts Representative Benjamin F. Butler. The censure was later expunged from the congressional record.

Expulsion is the most serious form of disciplinary action that can be taken against a Member of Congress. The United States Constitution provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings,punish its members for disorderly behavior,and,with the concurrence of two-thirds,expel a member." The process for expulsion from the House of Representatives differs somewhat from the process for expulsion from the Senate.
