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.
