What is is a joint session of congress?
When the House and Senate meet together, it is referred to as a "Joint Session of Congress."Any meeting of both House and Senate of the U.S. Congress is commonly called a "Joint Session" but there really are different type of meetings where the whole House and Senate get together: Joint Session, Joint Meeting, and Formal Joint Gatherings.Several examples of the Joint Session are mandated by the Constitution such as the State of the Union Address that the President is required to provide each year. Joint Sessionsalso include meeting to formally count the electoral votes following a presidential election. Joint Sessions may also be requested by the President. Two examples of such a Joint Session are President Roosevelt's speech after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and President Bush's speech after the attacks of 11 September 2001. A Joint Session of Congress requires concurrent resolutions from both the House and Senate to meet.Other combined meetings of the House and Senate are referred to as Joint Meetings. These occur with unanimous consent to recess and meet. Joint meetings are usually for the purpose of allowing U.S. officials other than the President or foreign dignitaries to address the entire Congress.Meetings of Congress for presidential inaugurations are a special case called formal joint gatherings, but may also be joint sessions if both houses are in session at the time.
