The President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
When I extended an invitation on January 3rd for you to deliver the State of the Union address, it was on the mutually agreed upon date, January 29th. At that time, there was no thought that the government would still be shut down.
In my further correspondence of January 16th, I said we should work together to find a mutually agreeable date when government has re-opened and I hope that we can still do that.
I am writing to inform you that the House of Representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened.
Again, I look forward to welcoming you to the House on a mutually agreeable date for this address when government has been opened.
Sincerely,
NANCY PELOSI
Speaker of the House
Capitulated? I don’t think so.
—
Why?
Nancy: “The State of the Union is off, Orange man!”
Trump: “Okay.”
What part of that is not capitulating?
Yes, Another shoe to drop shortly.
I wonder what McConnell, Schumer, and others will say? Or are they now in the safe spaces?
Exactly! She has just declared herself and Congress “non-essential”.
Actually, giving it elsewhere helps highlight how petty she is being.
Call Congress into a “special session” per THE CONSTITUTION.
Let me expand:
“...he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses...”
(you must admit this is one of those “extraordinary Occasions”, government shutdown, border security, Speaker of the House REFUSING the president access)
Definition of convene
Don’t be confused with “being in session”. Convene defined below.
transitive verb
1 : to summon before a tribunal
2 : to cause to assemble
If the president calls on Congress to assemble, they have to go. He can summon them to any appropriate location. Doesn’t have to be the House Chamber, if they refuse to allow it’s use.
MAKE THEM attend a State of the Union address.
He needs to have the empty chair, like Clint Eastwood did.
Nancy: “The State of the Union is off, Orange man!”
Trump: “Okay.”
What part of that is not capitulating?
He has something big and FUNNY (for us) up his sleeve. It will be fun when he “cuts off her head and she doesn’t even know she’s bleeding.” (a quote about Nanzi by one of her nasty hag daughters, proud of what a B*TCH her mother is....)
We’ll see whose head gets cut off, bwah hah ha hah........
Yes, you can control attendance in the Capitol, you cant at a 20,000 person rally.
I think he ought to invite Clint Eastwood and have Clint revisit his empty chair speech.
Trump will hold a rally surrounded by Angel Families... get 10 times the audience he would have otherwise, as everyone will be tuning in to see what he has to say in response to her childishness....
Tear the Democrats a new one, and make Pelosi look even the bigger fool
Wrong, the “event” is not constitutionally mandated at all. It is a 20th century development (from Woodrow Wilson onward).
Oooh, now I want some popcorn too.
That, and I think that the Jerrydome in TX would be a fine place for some speechifying.
Agreed. Trump is playing with her.
and her wig
True, periodically report is pretty flexible. More so than Natural Born Citizen.
