Congress in 2023 returned from its July 4 recess around July 11 and then took another recess starting August 8. After the August recess, the Senate was scheduled to return on September 5, and the House on September 12, 2023. So the major recess periods in mid-2023 were from early July (around July 4) to mid-July, and then the August recess from August 8 to early September. This calendar reflects typical congressional recess patterns for that year.
