“... if POTUS should decide to do the SOTU in writing, the media will have the opportunity to redact from their coverage whatever hurts the demz.”

On the other hand, he could send over the SOTU address completely redacted.

Hardball, anyone?

Mitch should invite him to use the Senate chamber.

Of course, and he should do so TODAY.

This is true.

But 90% of the FReepers here do not know this.

They believe Hoyer canceled the SOTU.

Knee Jerking is still our best trait.

“The formal basis for the State of the Union Address is from the U.S. Constitution: The President “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.” Article II, Section 3, Clause 1.”

How can the Senate R’s fold if Trump will not go along with it. McConnell is up for election in 2020 in a red state. If he folds he loses his re-election. The pressure on the Dems is causing them more trouble than the media report. The effort to postpone State of the Union reveals they realize they are losing the public relations battle the longer this goes. Some Democrats are starting to peel off and express support in the House while a number of Senate Democrats are worried about how it makes them look, especially up for election in 2020.

A compromise could center around vague language for border security that lets Trump build the wall and lets the Dems pretend they stood firm. Or even earmarking money collected from seizure of assets from drug traffickers to use for the Wall so that no new money is authorized.

From teh article, “Ultimately, the decision rests with Pelosi, not Trump.”

I think Nancy is going to find out the SOTU when/where decision rests with Trump and not Nancy. I think Trump is going to blow up tradition.

"And since the start of modern budgeting in Fiscal Year 1977, a State of the Union Address has never been delivered during a government shutdown."

Question, Madame Speaker: When you extended your invitation on January 3rd for the President to give his State of the Union Address, wasn't the government already in a shutdown? Why, then, did you extend the invitation in the first place?

I don’t think President Trump should have anything to do with those sexual deviants, bigots, racists and freaks in The House on The Hill.

Can Nancy be impeached or have some federal criminal action taken against her for denying a Constitutionally mandated activity from happening? Just wondering. Maybe censorship by the Senate? I suspect that her speakership is safe as long as she has the votes and that recalling her from her democratic stronghold district is impossible.

The speaker has to give the President permission to enter the House. The Sgt at Arms has the authority to deny entry to the President.

But there is no reason the State of the Union address cannot be given in a larger venue with the Judicial branch, The Senate,House Republicans ( the House Dems will boycott), in which the public can attend.

Can you imagine a 65,000 attendance by the public in support of PDJT with the other branches of government in attendance without Pelosi?

A TRUMP rally and State of the Union Address combined ?

Pelosi has unleashed the Trump Kraken!

She will be very, very sorry she did. PDJT gets his wall.

The left loses big league.

Huzzah!

Alabama’s Denny Stadium holds 102,000 and I bet he could fill every seat! Come on down Mr. President, we’d love to host y’all.

We could use the morale boost after our recent humiliation.

Or do a State of the Union speech from the Oval Office and do a rundown of how many illegal reside in each state. The people in each state want to know exactly how many have invaded in their locales.
