I think most people would prefer to see a spring session of 100 days, and a fall session of 45 days...then end the House and Senate by 1 December entirely for the year unless the President mandates them to stay around.

There’s just nothing really being accomplished....except stupid interviews on various networks and bragging by both parties on how they tricked each other, or will screw the other party over in the next election.

We could question why Congress has evolved into being in session year round.

Does the public benefit from Congress being in session year round?

The 20th amendment moved up the swearing in of the new Congress and President from March 4th to January. We could have another amendment to move up closer to the November election day. Otherwise you end up with what we see now, where a lame duck session of Congress is still in office for two months after election day, and the outgoing office holders take their last shots on their way out the door.
