A new Congress begins at noon on January 3 each year, and according to the 20th Amendment, they are required to meet on that date unless they otherwise assign a date. In years following a congressional election (every other year), Congress will meet January 3 to induct new Congressmen and Senators, if any. In years following a Presidential election, a joint session of Congress convenes to receive the votes of the Electoral College.

In 1933, the 10th Amendment to the Constitution changed the meeting date to January 3, unless Congress passes a law to change the date.
