Roll Call: “The 117th Congress begins at noon Jan. 3, as set by the Constitution. The proceedings will be lengthy due to pandemic precautions, with some aspects, like adoption of the House rules, pushed to the following day because of the time it takes to do anything with members unable to gather all together on the floor.”
CBS News: “The traditional quorum call, swearing in of new members and speaker election will be done in seven groups, significantly lengthening the day’s events.”
