Where can you see when the terms are supposed to start?

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

In my mind where it has been since then PPT MasterJedi told me about in an AIM chat prior to my swearing in for the first time, which is the same way it has been handled ever since.


But if three years experience isn't good enough, then there is always the Article 1, Section 4, Clause 7 of the Constitution:

7.Those elected in ordinary elections to the Senate shall take office at noon Eastern Standard Time on the first Friday in the month after their election. Those elected in special elections to the Senate shall take office as soon as the result of their election has been formally declared.
