On January 4, 2013, the 113th Congress convened in a joint session to
count the Electoral Vote. Yours truly sat in the gallery of the House
of Representatives for the duration (about 24 minutes) of the session.
While it was not overtly eventful, it was one of those special kinds of
experiences that DC affords to me time and again. To be in attendance
for the official certification of the outcome of an election for
President and Vice President of the United States was a moment that
might not be repeated in my life and that most Americans will likely
never experience but really ought to! Guess that's what we have C-Span for :)
