D. Attendance and Absences

Members of Congress must attend all official duties unless excused for good cause by the leadership of their chamber. Each chamber shall set fair rules for reporting and verifying such absences. Members who follow these rules in good faith are not considered in violation.

These rules ensure that Members of Congress meet the same basic expectations that apply to working Americans across the country.

D.1. In-Session Workdays

D.2. Recess Workdays
