A Term of the Supreme Court begins, by statute, on the first Monday in October. Usually Court sessions continue until late June or early July. The Term is divided between sittings, when the Justices hear cases and deliver opinions, and intervening recesses, when they consider the business before the Court and write opinions.
Congress adjourns each regular session as it sees fit. Until World War II, the nation's lawmakers typically met four to five months each year. Today, the many pressing issues facing Congress force it to remain in session through most of each year. Who has the power to prorogue a session of Congress? The president has the power to prorogue, but only when the two houses cannot agree in a date for adjournment. No president has ever used that power.
