To the best of my knowledge no president in the US has made congress adjourn. The president has the power to adjourn and call congress into session according to Article 2 Section 3 of the US Constitution. The text of the said article and section I have put below for reference.
Article. II. Section. 3.
He (The president) 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.

If a bill arrives on the desk of the President of the US that originated in the Senate and he decides on a pocket veto Under what conditions would this be possible?
A "pocket veto" is only possible if1) Congress is about to adjourn, and2) bill return is not possible.This presupposes circumstances where Congress has adjourned, but bill return is possible. For many decades, presidents have returned vetoed bills to Congress when it had adjourned. This is allowable because Congress designates legal agents to receive veto messages and other communications. The practice was upheld by the Supreme Court in the 1938 case of Wright v. U.S. The President has 10 days to return a bill to the Congress as vetoed. Once Congress has adjourned, some presidents have argued, the bill can be considered unable to be returned for action.The President's use of this tactic has never been fully tested. The legal confusion is caused by the wording in the Constitution, which does not specify the length or type of adjournment to which this applies.
