I thought it was the 5th or 6th of January, this year?
1. The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.
2. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.
WHICH MEANS they could set their meeting date for Monday, January 4, 2011, but the TERMS end at noon on the 3rd of January.
Technically we could be without a Congress for a few hours but that holds no terror for me!
