She can withdraw her invitation. The President cannot enter the floor of the House without the permission of the Speaker.

Charles I, please pick up the red courtesy phone.

Pubbies proving, once again, they prefer Nancy & the commie Dems to be in control.

She has whipped them all into obedience, it appears.

Yep.

I feel that there are bad times on the horizon.

This open insult is not the beginning, even the Pelosi shutdown is not the beginning. This ALL started when the FBI took it upon themselves to open an investigation on a candidate for President WITHOUT A PARAGRAPH ONE PREDICATE and THE FISA COURT SYSTEM ENDORSED IT WITHOUT REAL EVIDENCE FOR THE SPYING. These are seditious times, and no one has the courage to prosecute and hang the traitors.

“And no Democrat rebuttal”

And no preview of speech. That really freaked ‘em out when he refused to give it to them the last time.

“[...] These are seditious times, and no one has the courage to prosecute and hang the traitors.”

Exactly. I really don’t believe we will be an intact nation for very much longer. We are so close to the edge of open war with the Left in this country...

I believe he has to be invited to the House Chamber,but since Nancy Pelosi is building a wall around the Chamber he would have to write it and send it

Tell them that since they’re getting paid, they might as well show up.

This entire situation is absurd. This is what happens when lowlife Democrats' bad behavior is ignored over many years and decades....... ignored by lazy, go-along Republicans. The Dems. and Pelosi are like spoiled, stupid, incorrigible children. At this point this country is unrecognizable.

so true

The situation is very simple.

Agree. It's time POTUS took off the gloves and follows the Constitution to the letter.

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them,

Inform Congress of his intent to give the SOTU at the regular time and place, ordering ALL members to be in attendance.

and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;

Work with the Senate to adjourn due to lack of cooperation from Congress. If/when Congress disagrees, POTUS, using powers granted by Article 2, Section 3, of the Constitution, listed below, should run government as necessary, until such time that the current, belligerent, Congress agrees to act in good faith for benefit of ALL Americans.

he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

I'd be fine with Trump delivering the SOTU live from the WH. We won't have the spectacle of Congress critters jumping up every 30 seconds like trained monkeys, and Trump can deliver his speech unfiltered.

Yuri Besmenov (sp) explained what to expect to end the American Republic more than two decades ago, as the KGB arranged their longterm plan ... and the dnc has carried it out completely.

Anyone who believes Pelosi is worried about Trumps safety is crazy. It’s a much better bet that she backing a bill to build a Grassy Knoll right in front of the Capital.

No, their game is to make it seem they need to take control of Trump and the government because he is not capable, illiterate and a danger to the nation.

“These are seditious times, and no one has the courage to prosecute and hang the traitors.”

There is no longer an opposition party. The Marxists have acquired practical control of all institutions,public and private, as well as the culture. We like to laugh at California, but they are our future.

The House of Commons still will not let the Monarch enter the chamber—they make a point of slamming the door on Black Rod and then adjourn to the House of Lords to hear the Queen’s speech.

She and Schumer don’t want to look bad. After all, who gives a rebuttal to a SOTU address?
