Does the President have the power to compel attendance?

"The president, who has the power under the Constitution to keep Congress in session...

It sure sounds that way to me.

That said, the democrats, who love to butcher the Constitution anyway, will more likely spend the majority of time attempting to override this particular provision.

President does have this power under the US Constitution, and the Demagogues will just have to whine until the issue gets resolved.
