Constitutional crisis? Can Congress be suspended indefinitely?
The President has the power, under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, to call a special session of
the Congress
The president may adjourn Congress
They can reconvene whenever they think proper.
However, under Article III sec 2 Trump can require them to convene, but there’s no way to then make them do anything. Schwarzenegger tried that with the California legislature, though I don’t recall the reason why. They refused to do anything, then adjourned. I don’t think such a move by Congress would work in this atmospheres though if they’re only going to convene to squander more
Money I’d just as soon they didn’t.
