Question
- what does the u.s. constitution require regarding the number of sessions for each term of congress?
there must be at least two sessions for each term of congress.
there must be one session of congress every month of the year.
there must be at least two sessions of congress every calendar year.
there must be one session of congress every day of the year
The U.S. Congress has a term of 2 years. Each term is divided into two sessions (1st and 2nd session of the congressional term). The other options are incorrect: having a session every month/day is wrong, and "every calendar year" is not the constitutional requirement (it's per term, with two sessions per 2 - year term).

There must be at least one session of Congress each year (note: the correct option from the given choices is "There must be at least two sessions of Congress every calendar year" – correction: Actually, the U.S. Constitution requires that Congress assemble at least once every year (1st Monday in December originally, now January 3rd). But among the given options, the intended correct one is "There must be at least two sessions for each term of Congress" – no, wait, each term of Congress (2 years) has two sessions (1st and 2nd session of the term). So the correct option is "There must be at least two sessions for each term of Congress."
