Call for a Special Meeting of the Congress
"It could even call for a special meeting of the Congress, which then conceivably could dismiss Prime Minister Li (...)"
"A special meeting of the town board may be called by the town chair in writing (...)"
| I had voted on this answer earlier. For some reason, the system did not record it though. "Convocação extraordinária" is not one special session but a period over which several sessions are conducted. In addition, the Congress also has what they a "special session" for special celebrations, tributes and to welcome important personalities. What do you of "Call of Extraordinary Legislative Sessions" for "Convocação Extraordinária"? |

Convening of a Special Session
In EN it is the session that is special or extraordinary not the convening.
In a legislature, a special session (also extraordinary session) is a period when the body convenes outside of the normal legislative session. This most frequently occurs in order to complete unfinished tasks for the year (often delayed by conflict between political parties), such as outlining the government's budget for the next fiscal year, biennium, or other period. Special sessions may also be called during an economic downturn in order to cut the budget. In other cases, a special session may be convened to address special topics, or emergencies such as war or natural disaster.
