When does the first session of congress begin?

Answer 1

Sessions in Congress begin in different times. In order for congress to have a session, they must have something to talk about, therefore congress meets when there is something to talk about. Even though there may be something to talk about, they will not always meet, they wait for a little bit and then they meet; part of protocol. Similar to the great American Frontier, Congress is quite the same.
