The 462nd Congress refers to a hypothetical session of the United States Congress that does not exist in reality. The U.S. Congress is made up of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each Congress lasts for two years, and the numbering of Congresses is based on the year they convene. As of October 2023, the most recent Congress is the 118th, which began in January 2023. The numbering of Congresses continues sequentially, so the 462nd Congress would occur far into the future, likely in the 25th century, assuming the current system remains unchanged.
