Heres the direct quote from the Constitution

That reads to me that he can do that if they are gridlocked? Not just on his whim

Yes, he can do if it the Senate goes along with it. The Senate proposes adjourning until after the election, the House says no, the President adjudicates between them. And adjourns them both until after the election.

Although I don't know what purpose adjourning Congress would serve, unless to demonstrate that he can exercise one of the primary powers of a British King - proroguing or dissolving Parliament.
