Thinking about it:

(1) normally a quorum is required to do anything

(2) but pro-forma sessions will have only one or a few members present, obviously not a quorum

(3) so the pro-forma sessions must be allowed by a rule that sets the quorum level very low, like just 1 member.

(4) and thus, in the House as well as the Senate, they probably have the same rule (they do in the Senate for sure) that any single member can refuse to have pro-forma sessions. Because it requires such a "crazy" rule change.

(5) so if Trump could get just one congressman to help him, he could break up this arrangement.

This requires only a single senator to refuse to let the Senate meet in pro-forma sessions, and he could make recess appointments.

Last recess, I thought he might want to make some recess appointments and could not seem to get a single senator to help him. Maybe he didn't ask?
