Congress

The term was chosen for the United States Congress to emphasize the status of each state represented there as a self-governing unit. Subsequent to the use of congress by the U.S. legislature, the term has been adopted by many states within unions, and by unitary nation-states in the Americas, to refer to their legislatures.

They spend most of the year in their home districts or meeting with lobbyists or working in their offices (at least officially). Many of them are probably taking significant amounts of time off to do whatever and calling it work, but what can you do? The Congressional Calendar is filled with large amounts of what are called 'District Work Periods' during which Congress does not meet.
