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 Presidents 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
Childish, demented old bag.
She will NOT cooperate just so she can hold off Trump from delivering the SOTU.
She is sexist. If Trump was a woman, she wouldn’t do this.
Nancy Pelosi is working to ensure that this will be the most watched SOTU speech in history.
That works as well...
He can’t “force the issue” as she has full authority and control of the House facilities. Best thing Trump can do is to give it elsewhere. She holds the cards when it comes what goes on in the House chamber.
Yes indeed.
And be sure to put a HUGE empty chair behind the President, next to VP Pence, where Nancy will not be.

President Trump's next move is already planned no doubt, as part of a crafted rollout of moves, with some contingencies where Pelousy may wiggle one way or the other.
I like the Capitol Rotunda.
Yes, great idea.
How about the same location when the President is sworn into office?
They can spin it any way they want, she is a disaster.
So she wants Trump to cry Uncle. I dont think he will pay her price.
That’s the capitol steps outside. It needs to be inside.
Yep. She’s really that stupid.
HOOK, LINE and SINKER!!!
Take away another of her perks, Donaldus Magnus.
There’s nothing like a nice high-profile pissing contest.
There is no Constitutionally-mandated place. The president can give the State of the Union address in the Senate. And, the next time the Republicans have control of the House and there is a Democrat in the White House, they can make him apologize before extending him an invitation.
Yep, but she can deny him the floor in the HOR. She will also live with the consequences of her decision for eternity.
Her cooperation is the last thing that TRUMP needs when it comes to fulfilling his constitutional duty.
I think Trumps plan is to keep triggering Pelosi, and wait her out as Dem civil war brews.
Hoyer already making waves. Cracks showing.
