Displeased with pro-forma sessions, which he called a “scam,” U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to “adjourn” both the House and the Senate in order to fill vacancies which he said had stood empty for years but are now needed “more so than ever before because of the virus.”
Trump later said he did not want to use the constitutional power that would allow him to adjourn congress, and declined to say by what date he planned to do so, saying only that “they’ve been warned.”
