As opposed to Congress being in session 9 days in April - http://thomas.loc.gov/home/ds/h1122.html ?

Presidents campaign for re-election. They, at least the good ones, also are on the job all the time (phone calls at 3 AM and all that) - Congress, not so much. Film at 11:00.

Of course, Willard's been running for president since 2004, so ...

Cheers,
Scott.
