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

You might have misunderstood my post. I’m well aware of the clause that gives the President the power to keep Congress in session until he says they can adjourn.

My question, because I haven’t studied the matter, is whether he can compel the attendance of individual members. That’s the issue, IMO, because if he can do that, then he can empower U. S. Marshals to go git ‘em and bring ‘em into the House and Senate for the session.

I’d pay money to see that.
