Interpretation
Constitution, Article III, Section 9, Definition of a week
"Meetings shall be held at least every two (2) weeks while classes are in session." A week is a seven (7) calendar day block of calendar days from Sunday to Saturday, inclusive. What this means is that a Senate meeting could be held on a Sunday and the next senate meeting could be held on the Saturday twenty (20) calendar days later. Note: this example is the most extreme case of valid times for Senate meetings.
