How frequently does Congress meet?

Congress meets annually, convening for a regular session that usually lasts for most of the year. The Constitution mandates that Congress must assemble at least once a year, and traditionally, this occurs on January 3rd. During this meeting, Congress conducts its legislative business, including debating and voting on bills, addressing national issues, and performing its oversight functions.

While there are additional sessions and special meetings that may occur throughout the year, the requirement for an annual meeting underscores the importance of regular legislative activity as part of the democratic process. The other options suggest less frequent meetings, which do not align with the constitutional requirements and the practices established in U.S. governance.
