(12,712 posts)El Presidente does not seem to be much of a fan of the Constitution, he seems to think he IS the supreme ruler of America.

"...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 Senate and House about adjournment, everyone of our Congress critters is all too happy get out of DC at every opportunity. Let him try to claim otherwise and see which nice lady opens a can of whupass all over his lardship.
