Senators have walked into the Capitol for 61% of weekdays.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6\">The weeks are not just shorter, but consistently so. The Senate did not have a single five-day work week in Washington for the first seven months of the year. The House had two.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph7\"><a href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/31/politics/republicans-obamacare-budget/index.html\">Boehner juggles assault on Obamacare, avoiding shutdown</a></p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph8\">CNN counted days that lawmakers were in Washington excluding \"pro-forma\" sessions, which are technically considered work days but last only a few minutes and are usually ignored by members.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph9\">The number of congressional work days now is significantly less than the high point of 2009. That's when the Senate met for 113 days before the August recess, which is 24 days more than the same period this year.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph10\">The House met for 19 more days in 2009 compared to this year.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph11\">At that time, Barack Obama was just beginning his presidency and Democrats led both chambers and pushed an aggressive agenda.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph12\">The time spent by members in Washington dropped sharply the following year and has decreased nearly every year since with each party controlling one house and partisanship defining the political climate.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph13\"><a href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2013/07/31/pf/college/student-loan-house/index.html\">CNN Money: Congress OKs cheaper student loans</a></p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph14\">So Congress is definitely in Washington less. But there is a debate over how much that matters.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph15\">Longtime congressman Lee Hamilton takes one view. Strongly.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph16\">\"They don't spend enough time in Washington,\" he said, frustrated, \"They don't get to know each other. When they do interact, they are often in confrontational settings. ... Legislation is a very complex process. It takes a lot of time, a lot of give-and-take and you cannot force it.\"</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph17\">Hamilton, a Democrat who served in the House from 1965 to 1999, now runs the Center on Congress at Indiana University.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph18\">He believes the shorter window in Washington squeezes out the heavy lifting of lawmaking and that a lawmaker's hours in the Capitol are filled with meet-and-greets, fundraisers and receptions instead of legislative work.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph19\">\"It got to the point when I was there,\" Hamilton recalled, \"that I had 15 appointments on Tuesdays. You can't get legislating done in that environment.\"</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph20\">But others question whether more time in Washington would change anything.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph21\">\"I can't imagine that they'd be anymore productive if they were here more,\" said Mike Tanner, senior fellow at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute. \"It's not like they do a lot when they're here.\"</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph22\">Tanner stresses that most major legislation is currently worked out behind closed doors by a few leaders and members of each chamber.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph23\">While some in Congress, like Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Virginia, want to cancel August recess and force a work session, Tanner thinks such a move would achieve nothing.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph24\">\"Sitting here in August while the leadership meets behind closed doors wouldn't do much,\" he concluded.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph25\"><a href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/31/politics/obama-gop-leverage/index.html\">Gamesmanship intensifies as Congress approaches August recess</a></p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph26\">Members of Congress themselves seem divided.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph27\">\"The real problem is that when we're here, we're not doing anything,\" said Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Oregon. \"You're actually better off back home because you can work with people, you can deal with the folks you represent, deal with their questions and gather more information ... for when people decide when we are going to get back to work.\"</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph28\">But fellow Democrat Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Illinois, when asked if Congress needs to be in Washington more replied, \"Yeah, I think it's important we address the challenges we face as a country. The reason I came here was to tackle those challenges.\"</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph29\">Conservatives like Tanner are happy for Congress to stay out of town, theorizing that a better government is one that does less.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30\">The office of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, which schedules the calendar in that chamber, defended the time away from Washington.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph31\">\"It's critical for members to have district work periods to hear from their constituents on a variety of matters,\" said Cantor spokeswoman Megan Whittemore, \"including chronic unemployment, the next steps toward addressing immigration and our debt crisis.\"</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph32\">Whittemore stressed that the House has been active, passing legislation on student loans, job training, the Keystone pipeline, cybersecurity and other measures.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph33\">The office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did not respond to CNN's questions about that chamber's schedule.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph34\">Whatever votes either chamber has taken, neither has found time to fully deal with two looming fiscal crises. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has indicated the nation could hit its borrowing limit as soon as Labor Day. And funding for much of the federal government is due to run out on September 30, raising the possibility of a government shutdown without a resolution.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph35\">As Congress leaves for August recess, most funding bills remain in limbo and there is no outline or even talks over how to address the borrowing limit, or debt ceiling.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph36\"><a href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2013/07/31/news/economy/debt-ceiling/\">CNNMoney: Debt ceiling awaits</a></p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph37\">Some say that when members return in September, the logistics of the calendar will make things harder.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph38\">\"(The schedule) is very poorly arranged to get things done,\" said Bill Galston, chair of the Brookings Institution's Governance Studies Program. \"It's a series of starts and stops, punctuated by flights to and from fundraisers and their districts.\"</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph39\">Galston and a bipartisan organization he works with called \"No Labels\" would rather see Congress stay in town for three consecutive weeks and then recess for a full week.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph40\">That's similar to what House Republicans initially planned when they took over the chamber - two weeks in Washington and one week at home.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph41\">Instead, though, the 2013 House calendar is dotted with small clusters of time and, as CNN found, a rate of being in town of 56 percent.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph42\">That is the average, for long spans of time it can be less. In January, for example, the House was in the capital just seven days. The Senate 10.</p><p class=\"cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph43\"><a href=\"http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/31/king-hammers-away-at-paul-in-gop-infighting/\">King hammers away at Paul in GOP infighting</a></p><!--endclickprintinclude--><!--google_ad_section_end--><!--no partner--><!-- ADSPACE: politics/mmst/adlinks.607x95 --><!-- CALLOUT|http://ads.cnn.com/html.ng/site=cnn&cnn_pagetype=mmst&cnn_position=607x95_adlinks&cnn_rollup=politics&page.allowcompete=no&params.styles=fs|CALLOUT --></div></div></div><div></div></div></div>",
