"... 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;"

I think it would be hilarious if Trump adjourned both houses of Congress indefinitely. If McConnell decided to go along with Trump, then it would appear that the Senate could adjourn and then the House would have to adjourn or Trump could force it to adjourn.

The fly in the ointment might be whether or not McConnell has the power to adjourn the Senate or is it subject to filibuster. Even if subject to filibuster, McConnell could perhaps use a "nuclear option" to eliminate the 60 vote requirement.
