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.
How about in front of nanzi piglosies house in Napa? In front of her walls!
“Trump was constrained by the formal venue (in the House) & what has Nancy done? She has set him free to do what he does best - unconventional. This should be interesting to see what Trump comes up with.’
A nice find.
Thanks.
And the WH could fly down the Reps in Congress, the military chiefs, and some Angel Moms, the parents of children lost to drugs, etc.
Is this for real?
This is well within Executive Order.
You want to get her attention, freeze Pelosi's non-US AND US assets, and Schumer's too.
Penn State or Ohio State stadium 100,000+) - only problem would be weather.
How about the Superdome or US Bank stadium?
I believe Don, Jr falls under the classification executive branch official, or could real soon......... Too bad he can’t testify!
Trump should waltz in with a massive SS detail and put the mere “Sergeant at Arms” at ease.
That's a great idea! Have a cigar.
That bitch does not control the Senate side.
What SHE has done is to deny the WH a walk through( last week ) AND request Trump postpone it.
He asked for another walk through
we will find out if She rejects this latest one.
I think, for optics sake, the Senate makes the most sense. House members can be invited to attend, and they can sit in folding chairs behind the Senators. Trump can still recognize angel parents in the balcony and have Congresspeople giving him standing ovations, and look like the adult in the room compared to Nancy, who won’t show up. He can talk about how extraordinary it is for the House Speaker to deny him the House for his State of the Union, first time in probably 100 years. Didn’t happen when Republicans had the House under Obama, didn’t happen when Dems had it under Reagan, Nixon or Eisenhower, didn’t happen when Republicans had the House under Truman. She is truly an historic bitch.
She MIGHT be able to block the House section from being used, but I am pretty sure she CANNOT block the Senate portion of the building.
She just keeps digging deeper & deeper, doesn’t she???
In pelosis home without borders. Just go in and set up.
Need a domed stadium. Dallas or New Orleans
She’ll let every criminal miscreant IN, but want to build a WALL to keep President Trump OUT?
ROFLMAO!
How about a high school auditorium? Maybe Covington Catholic
That would make the libs head explode, but we need a yuge venue
I have to say.. Nancy your grounded.. Donald stay in your room. Yes... this is our we gave 10 Billion additional taxpayer dollars to Mexico n central America but cant find 5 Billion leadership.
No rif today either? Shocking.
