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.
This is going to get really interesting.
Nancy, you are making this too easy for us
Keep up the good work
Is this a joke?
Hell hath no fury as a Nancy spurned.
Where IS Pelosi?
She is picking a fight she wont win. So be it.
GIANT Trump rally, Michigan
Man.......is she going to regret this!
Trump can adjourn Congress per the Constitution.
Send them home bring them back when they have a better attitude.
Never seen an adult stomp their feet so.
The Speaker of the House will not allow the President of the United States entry.
Interesting. Karma, Nancy, Karma.
How are they going to get the heat fixed if it goes out?
Congress may authorize the funds for a repair, but it’s the Execs job to get it done.

Yes.
Or Missouri or Ohio or Florida or North Carolina.
Any of these states (plus others not mentioned) would serve as a great way to bring the State Of The Union back to the people to whom it’s supposed to be directed at - US!
Do the SOTU address 1 hour before the Super Bowl.
Make their gdamn heads explode.
So, Nancy wants to bar the entry of someone. That seems rather ironic.
I believe she’s too far gone with dementia to realize what she’s doing.
Does this qualify as a Constitutional Crisis?
I know POTUS Trump doing anything does, but what about Pelosi?
