After recapturing the speaker's gavel, Nancy Pelosi has invited President Trump to deliver his State of the Union address on Jan. 29.
"The Constitution established the legislative, executive and judicial branches as co-equal branches of government, to be a check and balance on each other. The Constitution also calls for the President to 'from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,'" Pelosi wrote in her invitation to the president Thursday night.
This would be the president's second official State of the Union speech, in addition to an address to a joint session of Congress shortly after his inauguration in 2017. His 2019 address will be his first to a Democratic-controlled chamber, and Pelosi will be seated behind him on the House dais.

Does the invite always include a lecture?
I hope the shutdown is still going on and Trump stands in front of the country and reads Democrats own words about illegals
Or, he can just write a letter. There is no constitutional requirement that he address the congress live.
just send a letter
beat me by 3 seconds
Yeah, she’ll probably give a 30-minute lecture about the evils of the next speaker before turning the podium over to Trump.
This man is made for TV. Why would you EVER suggest he "write a letter?" LOL.
Pelosi will be seated behind him on the House dais.<<<
Don’t do it. She’ll be making cringe worthy facial expressions behind him.
It will be interesting. Perhaps jeering and booing like they do in the UK or maybe many dems just don’t attend at all? There will be some sort of theatrical stunt pulled by the dems.
I hate how when Republicans are President, all of a sudden Democrats care about the Constitution.
It does if you are a rat party member. Folks like nasty Nancy are so hate filled that they cannot hide their hate any more. Without hate, they would be like dust in the wind.
He can then send a transcript of his address to Congress as his "State of the Union" report.
We’ll hear “you lie!” a good half-dozen times with no repurcussions.
President Trump should invite all sorts of widows and family members of our people who have been murdered by illegal aliens.
Still, he could stand there and list off everything the democrats have voted against.
I like Anything that diminishes the congress and shows a little disdain
love that comment!
she just cannot resist messing w/fire!
;)

TRUMP.45! will prevail!
