The speaker refers to "the clause respecting adjournment — that neither house shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days".

The paragraph quotes "Neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days," from Article I, Section 5, clause 4.

…shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered on the Journal." Therefore, we cannot have the yeas and nays entered unless every member be present “ " Neither House shall, without the consent of ibe Other, adjourn for more thanthree days." In every clause of this particular section the term House is made use of.
