Senate will not be in recess next week if government is still closed: McConnell

U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell told reporters on Tuesday the Senate would not close for a planned recess if the partial government shutdown stretches into next week.

The partial government shutdown is on its 25th day and has become the longest shutdown in U.S. history.

Adjournment

Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

ARTICLE I, SECTION 5, CLAUSE 4

Dividing the legislative department into two equal branches was one of the most important checks on the legislative power that the Framers devised. At the same time, the Framers believed that it was vital to the affairs of the nation that one House not be permitted to keep Congress as a whole from meeting and performing its functions. Under this clause, neither House can use its power to adjourn to another time or to another place in order to check the actions of the other branch of the legislature. If the two Houses cannot agree on a time of adjournment, then pursuant to Article II, Section 3, Clause 1,

the President can "adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper."

At the Virginia ratifying convention, James Monroe and George Mason worried that the clause might give the Senate the power to prevent House Members from returning home, but James Madison opined that the President's power to resolve the dispute would prevent the Senate from keeping the House hostage to its will. Since the time of the First Congress, the two branches have always reached agreement, and the President has never had to intervene.
