Calendar days in session

The following charts show the number of days the U.S. Congress was in session from 2001 to 2024 and the number of days the U.S. Congress was in session in 2025.

The charts show the numbers in terms of calendar days rather than legislative days. A legislative day "begins after an adjournment and ends with an adjournment" and so can last longer than 24 hours.

The calendar for the first session of the 119th Congress appears below.
