How can the current Congress meet on Jan 5th? Is it not a Constitutional requirement that the Congress first meet on Jan 3rd of the year after the election? I thought that this was part of the Amendment that moved the Presidential date from March 15th to Jan 20th.
I was right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution
The term must start on Jan 3rd by the 20th Amendment. WHY DON’T THE REPUBLICANS OR FOR THAT MATTER ANYBODY SAY ANYTHING???????
