SESSIONS OF CONGRESS
[Closing date for this table was April 8, 1997. See additional notes at end of the table.]
Meeting Date and Places of Congress: The Constitution (Article I, section 4) originally provided that ``The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on
the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.'' Pursuant to a resolution of the Congress of the Confederation in 1788, the first session of the First Congress
under the Constitution convened March 4, 1789. Up to and including May 20, 1820, 18 acts were passed providing for the meeting of Congress on other days in the year. The Congress met regularly
on the first Monday in December until 1934, when the 20th amendment to the Constitution became effective, changing the meeting of Congress to January 3. Please see note 3, at the end of this
table, concerning extraordinary sessions of the Congress, as well as the next table about special sessions of the Senate. The first and second sessions of the First Congress were held in New
York City; subsequently, including the first session of the Sixth Congress, Philadelphia was the meeting place; since then Congress has convened in Washington.
