“The President’s emergency powers during a national crisis extend to ORDERING Congress to be in session.”

I would love him to
order Congress back.

The attached is his speech today 4-15-20. 53:53
is about where he talks about adjourning Congress.
If you backup a little he was talking about
getting people confirmed.

Article II Section III gives the president the authority
to call a special session of Congress.
The DOJ apparently affirmed this authority in a 1947 opinion
