He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; 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; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

 

US Constitution Article 2

 

A possible scenario:

 

So, Trump gets McConnell to call for adjournment. Nancy will not agree. Trump uses Article 2 powers to force adjournment of both houses, then uses the same Article 2 powers to call back only the Senate. Senate uses the nuclear option to confirm the full slate of Federal Judges. Senate holds hearings on DS and election abuse.

 

In the meantime Trump exercises executive powers to RIF unnecessary government employees and stops payment of foreign aid and other government subsidies until spending ceiling is no longer exceeded. Trump declares National Emergency to build the wall.

 

Pelosi is kept out of DC until she is willing to actually negotiate with the president on further border protection measures.
