Trump: I’ll ‘Adjourn Both Chambers of Congress’ to Appoint Government Officials

President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to adjourn Congress in order to appoint judges and other federal officials to help deal with the c****av***s crisis.
"If the House will not agree to that adjournment, I will exercise my constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of Congress. The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro forma sessions is a dereliction of duty that the American people cannot afford during this crisis," Trump said at a White House briefing. "It is a s**m what they do."
"Perhaps it's never been done before. Nobody's even sure if it has. But we're going to do it," Trump said. "We need these people here."
Many federal positions require Senate approval, and when the chamber is not in session, presidents can make "recess appointments." The move sometimes draws criticism from the opposing party, but the action is not unusual (President Barack Obama made more than 30 such appointments during his two terms).

Trump does not have the authority to adjourn Congress. Letting him skate on so many crimes, has given him the delusion that he has ultimate and total authority.

Article II, Section 3, Clause 3 authorizes the president to adjourn Congress if the House and Senate cannot agree on the time of adjournment.

And just because it has not been implemented before doesn’t mean it can’t be done as some imply~~
