A Hidden Power of the President

[M]

With thanks to LH for the heads up on this

Did you know that President Trump can order both houses of Congress to 

convene in Gitmo on 1/3/21? And they cannot do anything about it.

Title 2 U.S.C. §27.

Change of place of meeting

Whenever Congress is about to convene, and from the prevalence of 

contagious sickness, or the existence of other circumstances, it would, 

in the opinion of the President, be hazardous to the lives or health of 

the members to meet at the seat of Government, the President is 

authorized, by proclamation, to convene Congress at such other place as 

he may judge proper.

[enacted in 1794]   Those Founders seemed to think of everything didn't they?
