Congress sessions are periods during which the United States Congress meets to conduct its business. Each session lasts for one year and is part of a two-year term. Congress is divided into two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. During these sessions, lawmakers propose, debate, and vote on legislation, as well as address various issues facing the nation. Typically, a new session begins in January, following the State of the Union address delivered by the President. Congress sessions are crucial for shaping laws and policies that affect the lives of citizens. They also provide a platform for oversight of the executive branch and other government activities.
