The Senate was adjourned for the summer by Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) on Saturday after Republicans and Democrats failed to reach an agreement to allow quick confirmation of dozens of Trump nominees.
Thune on Aug. 1 had floated the option of recess appointments, but that would have required an adjournment of at least 10 days, which requires the consent of the Senate.
