Thanks... I went to look it up...

Article 1,
Section Five:

Neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for
more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

But 3 days puts us pass the Armageddon deadline, so that could be a useful tactic.

There's also Article II section 3, about the President
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
Don't bet Obama would not re-convene the House and send armed officers to hunt down the Repubs and fetch them.
