The First Continental Congress met in 1774. They did not get much done and, after a time, agreed to adjourn, go home and discover the attitudes of the people, and meet again in 1775. This Second Continental Congress remained in session, adopted the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation. After adopting the Articles the Second Continental Congress evolved into the Confederation Congress and remained in business until supplanted by the new government created under the US Constitution, which began in 1789.

It does not say how long the session is to be. Article 1, Section 8, paragraph 4 states that when Congress is in session, neither house may adjourn for more than 3 days without the consent of the other house. Lastly Article 2, Section 3 gives the President the power to convene Congress in extraordinary situations and if the two houses disagree as to the time of adjournment, the President may adjourn them to such time as he chooses.
Congress may adjourn when the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader agree to do so, or when a majority of members in both chambers vote to adjourn. Typically, Congress adjourns at the end of each legislative session, but can also adjourn for shorter periods of time, such as for holidays or recesses. Ultimately, the timing of adjournment is determined by the legislative business and priorities of Congress.
The president ask congress to hold a special session when the two houses cannot agree on a date to adjourn or in an emergency situation.
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate need each others permission to adjourn. Adjournment takes place when Congress is no longer in session.
