Can congress hold a “special session” while closed?

I’d hope an impeachment vote could still
Be held. Remotely? There are 3 vacancies
Current break down 219 republicans 213 democrat 3 vacancies (2 democrats died 1 Republican resigned)

He tried a coop and they couldn't impeach him. What makes you think that enough red hats in congress or the senate would do so?

@RosaMarie you choose to side step the question! can a special session be held while congress has chosen to be closed? It’s not WILL it happen? it’s CAN a special session be held?
We all know republicans would force a special session if the situation were reversed. So please provide your answer? Thx in advance

@exchrist Since a republican was sworn in during a special session this year and yet they are saying they can't swear in a Democrat in special session, what can or can't be done seems not to matter.

I'm not a Parlementarian, so I have no idea what should be the answer.

@RosaMarie you and I are in the same boat. I’d say we agree it COULD be done and WAS; but it’s not GOING TO HAPPEN

Congress is majority Republican and the Republicans are afraid of getting attacked by their own party. So how do you think that votes going to go?

@exchrist The Democrats can call a vote to impeach Trump again but the Republicans would vote against it. Right now Speaker Johnson has put Congress on leave to avoid voting.
