To: House Atreides
Amendment XX. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.

That just overrides the date specified in the main Constitutional text. Is this a conflict?

That amendment you refer to effects Art 1 Sec 4. clause 2

Has nothing to do with Art 2 Sec 3

No, they already convened. They just didn’t adjourn.
