House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Blocks President Trump Entry into Capitol Building – Confirms State of Union Speech Cancellation…
It looks like Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi has no intention of allowing the House chamber to be used for a State of the Union address.
Speaker Pelosi has informed the House Sergeant at Arms that no executive branch official will be permitted entry into the Capitol building.
Earlier Fox News reported Pelosi cancelled a walkthrough last week, and a second request for reconsideration from the White House is expected to meet the same fate. The House Speaker controls who is, and who is not, permitted entry to the House floor. Until Speaker Pelosi calls for a vote to support a joint session of congress, the President cannot enter the chamber.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley discusses the status of the current shutdown negotiations and the likelihood a SOU address will have to take place outside Washington DC.
“So, Nancy wants to bar the entry of someone. That seems rather ironic.”
Exactly right! Is she going to build q wall?
Camping world stadium in Orlando. FL
Come for the Pro Bowl stay for the SOTU.
The Rotunda.

That letter is going to be a historical document. The end of the rat party
No urinal for you, Repubs.
I was thinking the same thing. Talk about a petulant cry baby.
They won’t carry it. The Super Bowl is the biggest television event of the year. They’ll never give that up. Especially for Trump. CNN and MSNBC will be the only ones broadcasting it.
Wow, and she thinks this looks good for her?

He should hold the SOTU at the Mexican border in San Diego and point the loud speakers at the “Immigrant” camps.
“Is this a joke?”
That’s what I was wondering - she can’t keep POTUS out of the Capitol building - no way.
My advice to Trump is to give the SOTU from the oval office and don’t provide a copy to the press in advance. That way the Dems can’t prepare a rebuttal and will have to wing it.
She is committing sedition
Out of the house chamber, maybe. The sergeant at arms answers to the speaker of the house.
she’s cuckoo
I think you are right. He should cut all funds to her office and take away her security detail. She is not acting like the speaker of the house.
——She is not acting like the speaker of the house.——
Actually, she is trying to assert that the Speaker of the House is actually Prime Minister and has powers equal to and greater than the President. She is asserting that the House is superior in the pecking order to the Executive branch.
She is attempting a grand power grab that should result in her death.
Afraid? Naw, it is just petulence. She is a malignant narcissist.
Exactly, it shows every time she opens her mouth.
“The HoR grants or denies permission for the President to enter and address the assembled body.”
Nobody doubts that she can grant or deny her permission - all that means is that the POTUS will be doing it without her permission.
Come on, folks. This is ludicrous - the President of the United States being denied entry to the Capitol building?
Best suggestion so far!
