I’m a nightclub or prison; or Spike Lee conceit;
Where your femur and tibia manage to meet;
What the House and the Senate together complete;
And a meeting of Chiefs for our fighting elite.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Ro. See comments for answer.

Usually Ro is more exclamatory.

JOINT is correct. Way to go, Ro!
I kept Ro out late last night, Neel, so it’s a wonder she made it to the riddle this morning at all.
For the same reason, it’s also a wonder that there was a riddle to make it to.
Line 1: Joint is slang for a nightclub or prison, Spike Lee usually refers to his each of his movies as “A Spike Lee Joint”
Line 2: The knee is a joint, and that’s where those two bones meet.
Line 3: Actions taken by the House and the Senate together can be described by the adjective “joint” – e.g., a joint resolution, joint session, etc.
Line 4: The Joint Chiefs of Staff

Bill: not so wondrous, as these days I don’t sleep alot. I am quite amazed that you got one in so early. Did you compose it on the way home?
Neel: I didn’t add the exclamation point as I was still a little sleepy and groggy from the night before (and unfortunately nursing a cold).
I can’t believe that I’ve gotten so many in a row. The planets must be turning wrong.
