Reply #7: but if 110th Congress meets for a lame duck session how is it adjourned? [View All]

What is Congressional Adjournment? How is that affected if a lame duck session is held? Doesn't congress adjourn a lame duck session?

I'm confused. I'm sorry.

"The law contains a clause determining that any regulation finalized within 60 days of congressional adjournment — Oct. 3, in this case — is considered to have been legally finalized on Jan. 15, 2009. The new Congress then has 60 days to review it and reverse it with a joint resolution that can’t be filibustered in the Senate."
