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.
Guys, where the heck is the Speaker of the House?!
Any objections?
If he does it from the Senate it give Dems an opportunity to not show up and make political hay of the whole event.
Oval Office address best way to go.
Pull rug out from under them.
Flyover country rally next day.
He would definitely have a captive audience!
If this is correct and not just Clickbait...it would open up all kinds of interesting opportunities.
Instead of the clown show in the House, it can be a full multi-media presentation.
The hats what my copy says.

OMG... Trump could adjorn the House... and declare them all non-essential.
How is AOC going to pay rent?
Put her against the wall and shoot her ass for sedition, enough of this horse manure.
They should all be docked for doing nothing!!!
He should have a formal speech with a small, hand selected audience of American citizens, Then a large rally. There shall be 535 seats reserved in the front of the auditorium, or perhaps directly behind the President where we can all see who bothers to not show up.
It looks to me like the Constitution does give Pelosi the right to do this. What is her aim? She must know this. So Trump sets a time and shows up with his own army of secret service and assorted military, then what?
"....cant go on their property,
It is not THEIR property. It is the property of all of the citizens of the United States.
I say rent a stadium, sell tickets to fund the wall and accept Rush’s offer to introduce our President. Nancy is showing her true colors and they’re ugly, mean and evil.
Yes, that would work and save a whole lot of expense.
I’m sure some network will be willing to cover it.
Her biggest fear is sitting in the speakers chair, directly behind PDJT, being constantly in the frame, and not being able to keep it together for the entirety of the address.
Trump should do it anyway. What a spectacle. Extremists denying a US President entry into the Capitol building to deliver a SOTU address.
he should announce hes signing the emergency order...
imho, Nancy has exceeded her authority....
but still.. I would like to see PDJT give the address..
in a nice big beautiful stadium or conference hall...
with thousands of supportive American citizens...
instead of Nancy’s hostile commie/nazi/islamonazi “warriors” staring blankly at him
the optics would be much improved.. with the president of USA actually reporting directly to the people of USA
Trump should have Congress’ paychecks printed, cancel online deposit. Then, make them pick them up at a federal facility in Wyoming.
