Another week of congressional ceremonies gets underway Monday, just as a snowstorm bears down on Washington, though the memories of the rioting four years ago won’t be lost on Capitol Hill.
Congress meets in joint session at 1 p.m. for the counting of Electoral College ballots, a constitutional function that was disrupted by insurrectionists four years ago. But this year is expected to go according to plan, with President-elect Donald Trump returning to the White House in two weeks.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill will also join the rest of the government and the nation in paying respects to the late President Jimmy Carter this week.
