Ah. Interesting trick. That would mean that Lieberman would have to change sides, causing Reid to be replaced by McConnell, before the Senate could adjourn. Only then would the president be able to call Congress back into session. So it’s a bit more complicated than I thought.
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.
Couldn't he just recall the House? I'd love to see it just to spite Pelosi!
