Yes. But that only becomes relevant in the case where the House passes a resolution requesting an adjournment. Otherwise, that rule has no bearing. Trump can't make a recess appointment unless:
The Senate voluntarily adjourns
The House passes a resolution to adjourn (and the Senate refuses)
Massie may believe they have the votes in the House to pass such a resolution, and he may indeed be correct. Or, he could be bluffing. I don't rule anything out.
