Question

Give the characteristics of a special session of Congress

Answer 1

Both the Senate and House of Representatives meet in separate, large "chambers" on the second floor of the Capitol Building. The House Chamber is located in the south wing, while the Senate Chamber is in the north wing. Congressional leaders, like the Speaker of the House and leaders of the political parties, ​have offices in the Capitol Building. The Capitol Building also displays an impressive collection of art related to the American and congressional history.
