Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution provides that the President 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.

This power has never been used before in our history. It was put in specifically in case of a out of control congress.
Do you think that this congress is out of control? I do. Its been out of control since last summer...or last election.

Trump needs to add a "w/o pay" note to the adjournment notice.

Gosh. He could have done this during the impeachment hearings. That would have been a kick.
