Quick question - Why isn't the House and Senate in session and working?

[Democrat 4 Ever]

I thought Nancy and Harry has instituted a five day work week - I want them back in DC and fixing a whole host of problems. Where is everybody?

[onenote]

1. House convenes at 12:30 today; Senate at 1 pm

[Warpy]

2. Committee meetings

The chamber isn't the only place they work.

3. They start in the afternoon on Monday so they have time to

travel back from their districts. (that is my understanding, anyway.):hi:

4. Well, they are working longer than the last "Do Nothing" Congress. n/t

5. Eveything was fixed in 87 hours.

6. They need time to travel in from home. That I understand cuz I do that too...

fly in to work on Monday and out late Thursday nite or noon on Friday.

8. Thanks for the answers. I'm not criticizing but needing info.

The Dems have already done 100 times more work in the last week than the Repugs did in the whole of the 109th Congress. Need to be noted by every Democratic person in front of a microphone that in the same time the Dems spent fixing stuff the Repugs an equal amount of time whining and complaining.

I have to admit that I'm just hooked on watching the debates on the floor of the House and Senate and love the committee hearings...now. So much more fun than say, a month ago. We are finally seeing some legislating instead of genuflecting for Chucklenuts and Dead Eye. And that the repugs are reduced to sniffling and crying ad infinitum over how "unfair" the Dems are is just a cherry on top of my Democratic majority sundae
