No it won’t. The Senate never passed an adjournment resolution. It is operating under a order of the Senate to convene every three days in pro-forma sessions under a bi-partisan agreement to keep the Senate technically in session to prevent recess appointments. The Senate deliberately took action to not adjourn.

National Journal has now written an article about it... talking about a potential constitutional showdown on the issue. But folks, why wouldn’t Obama just outright veto the bill? What’s the motive behind it... that’s the point. He is asserting a power ahead of new Republican majorities that he hopes to use against them to make their bills vanish as if they never passed.

You’re absolutely right - I heard about the other day (and promptly forgot) in the context of recess appointments.
