He’s flat in the Oval.

Vice President Pence doesn’t have any power even as President of the Senate?

[Jane Long]

Maybe VP can give “Leader” McConnell a very strong suggestion/recommendation.

[1Old Pro]

Would Democrats show for Trump’s speech? That answer is easy: No, not most of them

Seriously? Do they want to provide a campaign issue on a silver platter to the GOP? Not showing up in a Red/Purple district would be career ending.

[yldstrk]

Just do the SOTU from the Oval Office.

[Notthereyet]

Of course Sen McConnell can invite Pres Trump. The date of delivery of the State Of The Union is the only set thing. The method of delivery has is not set in stone...heck, it’s not even set via marshmallow. LOL

[Mr. K]

really? she was set to fly today?????
LOL

S.Con.Res.39 - 104th Congress

[blueplum]

did Pelosi want to delay the SOU so she could take her vacation, now cancelled by SCOTUS?

[Liz]

Maybe give the SOTU here?

Typical Trump overflow rally.

He doesn’t need Congress’ ok. He’s the POTUS and can speak to We the People any time he wishes. Call a presser and go for it. Multiple tweets to get the entire thing out there. No one can stop him. He’s rich enough to buy his own television station and put his face on 24/7 if he wants.

Maybe it can be some sort of multimedia thing where the president does a bunch of videos from places where Americans have been killed at the hands of illegals. "Right here another American was murdered because democrats refuse to act" sort of thing.

All of this is record earlier and its shown at some large venue and then the president walks on stage to deliver the SOTU at the conclusion of video.

Have lots of the family members join him with some bleachers on the stage.

The whole speech Americans would have to be looking at the colateral damage the democrats insane policies have wrought.

[Ingtar]

Do it Monday from the Lincoln Memorial.

[Logical me]

Tell them all to go to hell and do it from the Oval Office.

[Logical me]

The only thing he should hand the Wicked Witch of San Francisco is a copy of the Executive Order that immediately starts construction of the wall.

And he should pen an Executive Oder that any move to block the military will be treason.

[Political Junkie Too]

The President can't just show up and demand to be let in.

Yes, he can.

The standing rules of both the House and the Senate grant floor privileges to the President and Vice-president. This does not, however, give them permission to address the body.

The date of delivery of the State Of The Union is the only set thing.
Where is the date of delivery set? Article II, Section 3
...shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union...

How is "from time to time" a set date of delivery?

Would you like to revise your comment?

[Nothingburger]

Time for a State of the Union Trump rally, preferably in the biggest stadium available in some swing state.

This will not only give Nasty Nancy a poke in the eye, but also make a big statement that the Trump administration is for the people, not official Washington.

[FredZarguna]

Correct, but he only has floor privileges by their sufferance, which was my point.

[Political Junkie Too]

Has anybody floated the idea of Trump delegating the SOTU address to Pence to give? What would Pelosi say to that?
