  1. Congress will be in session on Jan 6

  2. They will also be in session until they wade thru the almost 6000 pages of pork

Well they had to be anyway in terms of number 1. They are mandated by law and Constitution to be there 2 days a year: the first Monday in December unless they choose another day per article 1 section 4, and the day they officially count the electors in presidential years-- January 6 this year, per 12th amendment. Which happens to be, IIRC, after the new session starts.

Which might explain why NY is still counting votes in one of the house seat races that the R had been winning by a wide margin on election night.

In session on Jan 6th, right when Trump asked us to come down there.
