Building a wall that wont work is not an extraordinary occasion. Those are my thoughts.The President, under Article 2, Section 3 has the authority to convene one or both houses of Congress in extraordinary circumstances. He could use these powers to keep Congress in DC instead of leaving to go home.
Article 2, Section 3
He 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.
I think this qualifies as an extraordinary occasion. Your thoughts?
Tell that to the folks going without pay. It's time congress stays in town and does their job.

Trump is the one who needs to do his job. He is playing politics.
No he's demanding the border be secured, just like your dear leader did at one time, well at least until he got in a position to actually do it.

I don't have a dear leader. My dear leader was Ronald Reagan and he talked about tearing down walls not building them. There is no way he would ever pull anything like the garbage Trump is pulling.
