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.
