When can the president call both houses of congress into session?
Smartie10195
He can ask for such a session whenever he thinks it is needed. But just like the Speaker of the House can't call the President and say "assemble your cabinet, I'd like to talk to them", the President can't actually "call a joint session". He sends a letter to the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader and REQUESTS a joint session. It still requires a concurrent resolution of both House and Senate.
