To the best of my knowledge no president in the US has made congress adjourn. The president has the power to adjourn and call congress into session according to Article 2 Section 3 of the US Constitution. The text of the said article and section I have put below for reference.

Article. II. Section. 3.

He (The president) shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; 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; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
