Why is Congress not in session? I'm watching C-span and I see only two people in the room. Someone englighte

Question

This seems kinda ridiculous. It's 11:16 am ET and there is virtually no one in the U.S. House of Representatives! What is going on? Last I heard on Lou Dobbs, Congress despite it being Democrat-controlled now has an 8% approval rating way lower than even Bush's! I don't know what's going on. Someone please throw some light on the situation.

Answer 1

I didn't watch CSPAN this morning, but if I had to venture a guess, Congress was most likely in committees, discussing bills.

Answer 2

Ask Speaker Pelosi, she had the congress vote to adjourn early and not take up a vote to drill for our oil. She won't even bring the bill to a vote up or down, because the bill would pass.
