Trump: I will deliver State of the Union 'when the shutdown is over
The Hill ^ | January 23, 2019 | MARY TYLER MARCH

Posted on 01/23/2019 8:31:19 PM PST by be-baw

President Trump said late Wednesday that he would deliver his State of the Union address after the ongoing partial government shutdown is over.

"As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address," Trump wrote in a tweet. "I agreed. She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative - I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over."

Trump clarified earlier statements suggesting he may do an “alternative” State of the Union, writing that he was not seeking an alternative venue because "there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber."

"I look forward to giving a “great” State of the Union Address in the near future!" he added.

If they are going to continue the shutdown, then shut down all the gov’t. Why should 25% of the workforce be held hostage by Pelosi and President Trump?

No paychecks for any of them. Bet that would get them off their asses.

Yes, I am a federal employee, about to miss my second paycheck. Figure I would give full disclosure. Sure, they say I’ll get paid eventually but that is hardly comforting when they are talking about dragging it into the summer.

I still support the President but this partial shutdown and the powers that be’s cavalier attitude is really starting to piss me off.

Yes to a RALLY, but he can NOT and must NOT call it a SOTU!

She HAS won, as of right now; sadly.

But a HUGE rally would at least get our side roaring.

Where was the republican leadership in the congress? They should have been energetically outfront on this and should have made statements that Pelosi’s act to block the SOU were unacceptable and unamerican. Why did they leave it all up to Trump? Of course we really know why.

Trump is required to turn in at least a report.

Here is that requirement...

Article II

Section 3

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, ...

Sounds to me like he can choose any date he'd care to.

By what date? Lot of overreactions to this. Trump is up to something. Trust the long game. RGB is about to croak if the pneumonia rumors are true. He will have that pick and fight on his hands. He’s using the ‘shutdown’ (just 25% of govt) to trim the fat. Look for big cuts coming up next.

I share your opinion based on President Trump's long track record of keeping his word. As with all things Trump, people are well advised to withhold comment for 48 hours to see what really happened. To date, President Trump has remained steps ahead of his enemies, and has played them like fiddles. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

My spine is made of TITANIUM!

I suggest that you need to grow a lot more brain cells and synapsis.

Not all that long ago, Nancy claimed that she has "EQUAL POWER" as the president has.

He has asked, then begged, then given away stuff that the Dems want, just to get a meeting...a meeting with the damned Dems that HAS NOT AND SHALL NOT happen.

Nancy has now told him, not once, but TWICE that he can NOT give the SOTU in the House, WHILST THERE IS THE SHUTDOWN.

He just said...okay, Nancy, whatever you say an d yet YOU claim she hasn't "won" this round.

Good grief...open your eyes and face reality!

Why has the republican congress blocked Trump from any recess appointments during the past two years?

He ban plenty of time now. No wall, no state of the union, no Hillary indictment. What else does he have to do?
