Question

Under which of the following circumstances might the President call a special session of Congress?

B. in order to ask Congress to consider a particular bill
C. as a way to weaken the party in power in Congress
D. when the House will not consent to adjournment

Answer 1

A. when Congress has just convened a session

Answer 2

The correct answer should be
A. when Congress has just convened a session

The president can under certain conditions summon both houses or either of them and it can be for reason that is not about a bill such as help during a crisis or similar things. It is not done to weaken parties in the congress since it has no influence on their power.
