It is written in plain language.

"..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;"

The best part is the part in BOLD

Trump should do it.

This is Wartime and the Democrats are clearly rooting for China and C19.

Does this mean if the Senate Majority Leader wishes to officially adjourn all members of the Senate, due an extraordinary occasion, and the HoR disagrees, the POTUS can adjourn them both?

You cant have a recording of you taking millions of dollars of bribes.

This is just common congress knowledge

Unless you can shake hands in the office face to face its worthless to even show up.

Sure, they physically “can” do so. This is not the question.

The question is whether the Constitution says they MAY do it.
