This is a silly discussion to be worrying about anyway. We’re clearly in a post-constitutional environment now, and academic debates about the wisdom of a particular quote are just a pointless sideshow.

When a gang of thugs invades your home and starts beating you while stealing your stuff, you don’t stand there and try to debate the law and the rules of boxing with them. At that point, the time for those things is long gone. All that you can do is fight back (hopefully possessing the proper “tools”) and eliminate the threat.

Trump knew he had the Article II power to dismiss Congress on Jan 6. He had been advised of his Article II power from Day One, by everyone from Bannon to Kushner:
"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." - The Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 3
In April 2020, President Trump threatened to use Article II to dismiss Congress over blocking him from recess appointments. President Trump knew he had that power -- the exact same power he would have used to remand the presented elector's slates in 2020 back to each state's legislature.

Much of this is his regret over not having done so.

Can Trump win in 2024 without attracting voters beyond those already firmly committed to voting for him?

The US Constitution has been evicerated by a coup d’état. How do we restore our government?
