Congress hasn't adjourned in a few years to avoid issues with President appointments avoiding their inspection. They recess instead. The leadership of both parties is in D.C. to try to work out compromises on funding bills that have to pass.
If Trump vetoes, Congresscritters would have to return to Washington to vote on the override but we're also close to the January 5 date when this congress is over and the next one starts the next day.
Maybe a pocket veto? (or something like it)
