The U.S. Constitution grants each house of Congress the authority to determine its own rules and procedures, including those related to adjournment. However, both houses must agree on the timing of adjournment, unless it is an occasion when they cannot agree and a concurrent resolution is passed to set a specific date for adjournment. Furthermore, one house cannot adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other house, except when both houses agree on a different adjournment period.
