Technically, yes. Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution does give the President some power to adjourn (and convene) Congress, but under specific circumstances: "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."
The conditions for adjournment are so limited that no president has ever exercised this administrative power.

∙ 13y agoYes, the constitution gives the president the power to adjourn congress. However, this power can only be used when the upper and lower houses can not agree on a time to adjourn themselves. No president has ever exercised this power.

Can house or senate adjourn anytime it wants to?
Not completely. The Constitution gives Congress the power to set its own procedures. The 20th amendment states that Congress must convene at least once a year at noon on the 3rd day of January unless it by law provides for a different day. 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.
