President
Joint session
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.
The President of the United States has the authority to call for a special session of Congress. This may be done to address urgent matters or to convene lawmakers outside of their regular schedule.
