If you think your representatives in Congress don't get a lot done
now, just imagine if they stuck to the bare minimum required. The
Twentieth Amendment states that they must meet at least once a year.
This meeting is supposed to take place on January 3rd at noon. But if they're too busy, the law allows them to appoint a different day. The amendment also established January 20 as Inauguration Day. Before then, newly elected presidents had to wait four months before taking office on March 4.
