Mark Jan. 3 on your calendar

Mark Jan. 3, 2021 on your calendar. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., indicates the new 117th Congress is likely to begin at noon on Jan.

3 – even though it falls on a Sunday.The 20th Amendment to the Constitution mandates that Congress begin at that day and time.

But the Constitution offers Congress the option to change the start date – if it can pass a law. Congress has done so many times in recent years, especially if Jan.

3 falls on a Sunday like it does in 2021. But Jan. 3 is more likely this time around for a host of reasons. The first question is whether Congress can or wants to approve a bill to move the date – although Hoyer did leave open the possibility of beginning the 117th Congress on Jan.
