📅 During Nancy Pelosi’s tenure as Speaker of the House — which spanned two separate periods (2007–2011 and 2019–2023) — the House held a summer recess every year.
🏛️ Breakdown of Pelosi’s Speakership:
- First term: January 2007 – January 2011
- Second term: January 2019 – January 2023
In both periods, the House followed its traditional schedule, which includes a multi-week Summer recess. This recess is standard practice, allowing lawmakers to return to their districts for constituent work and campaigning.
🔍 There’s no public record of Pelosi canceling or skipping a summer recess during her time as Speaker. In fact, she often used the recess strategically — either to pressure negotiations or to highlight legislative "accomplishments" back home.
