The best part is the part in BOLD
k. so. been gone a while. clearly some things never change.
HERE is the actual best part, because it shows all of this is moot...
...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;"
There is no disagreement between the Houses with respect to adjournment. Thats the end of session. Its already set. Its Jan 3rd at noon. His claim is completely baseless.

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?
Yep and then he can convene one or both houses.
For example he could convene just the senate and leave the house adjourned

It is tempting, there is gray area to explore, but opening this Pandora’s Box just because you can might lead to worse shite happening than anybody could imagine. The TDS side is not reasonable. They are desperate. And then would come the wave of counter-reaction. Ultimately we might all lose and China could wind up being last man standing.
