A typical session of Congress lasts for two years, which is the length of a congressional term. Each session within the two-year term is typically broken up into two sessions: the first session starts in January of odd-numbered years and ends in December of the same year, and the second session starts in January of even-numbered years and ends in December of that year. Each session can vary in length, depending on the amount of legislative work that needs to be completed.
