Two sessions of Congress equals one Term. A term is two years.
Since 1941, every Congress has had two sessions, convening in January of each year.

The length of its sessions has grown.
The legislative branch, specifically the U.S. Congress, typically meets in sessions that last for about one year, often starting in January and concluding in December. Congress convenes for two regular sessions during its two-year term, with the first session beginning in odd-numbered years and the second in even-numbered years. Additionally, Congress can hold special sessions as needed. The exact duration and schedule can vary based on legislative priorities and circumstances.
Sadly... Yes it does.
