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!
Have McConnell send Pelosi an invite to attend SOTU in the Senate chamber.
I love it. He hits send on a SOTU email to Congress from a podium in Lordstown.
Fantastic. She'll be s-o-o-o-r-r-r-y.
OK.
So, let HER tell Trump - in public and on TV - that “”she” does not want Trump to speak to the nation! We've had 40 years of “fake Senate filibuster” votes stopping the government due to “fake” protests.
Make Pelosi put her hatred in public. On TV.
Why limit it to 65,000. We have stadiums that can hold 100,000. I'd love to attend!
Pelosi thinks she has power in this situation. She has zero. Every decision is made by the president, i.e., when, where, how, and even IF, to give a SOTU. She’s an idiot.
She didn’t take back the invite. Yet. She only “suggested” it might be better to write it up instead . She’s scared to death of the results he’ll get. He’s already made her look like a petulant idiot. (Well, she’s actually done that herself). She KNOWs full well he’s going to invite LOTS of Angel moms and dads, plus furloughed supporters. She’s sunk, and she knows it. Deeeelicious!
He could hold the SOTU address at the Capital One Arena. According to Wiki, it seats 20,356 for basketball. Cram a few hundred seats on the floor and you’d have quite a sight for the address. The Wizards will be out of town on January 29th. So that would work, if needed.
“Pelosi has unleashed the Trump Kraken!”
LOL! Love that! :)
I would like to see Trump do the speech from the Oval Office with jumbotrons set up in the House and Senate.
No heckling from the communists and he can get right to the point.
