Trump's letter to Pelosi on State of the Union address
President Donald Trump ^ | January 23, 2019 | President Donald Trump

Posted on 01/23/2019 9:49:56 AM PST by Reno89519

Dear Madam Speaker:

Thank you for your letter of January 3, 2019, sent to me after the long Shutdown began, inviting me to address the Nation on January 29th as to the State of the Union. As you know, I had already accepted your kind invitation, however, I then received another letter from you dated January 16th, 2019, wherein you expressed concerns regarding security during the State of the Union Address due to the Shutdown. Even prior to asking, I was contacted by the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Secret Service to explain that there would be absolutely no problem regarding security with respect to the event. They have since confirmed this publicly.

Accordingly, there are no security concerns regarding the State of the Union Address. Therefore, I will be honoring your invitation, and fulfilling my Constitutional duty, to deliver important information to the people and Congress of the United States of America regarding the State of our Union.

I look forward to seeing you on the evening on January 29th in the Chamber of the House of Representatives. It would be so very sad for our Country if the State of the Union were not delivered on time, on schedule, and very importantly, on location!

Sincerely,

Donald J. Trump

Does anyone know —

If President Trump decides to give the SOTU from the senate chambers, can Mitch McConnell (or a simple majority of senators) bar all members of the house of reps from entry?

“The Senate chamber is just way too small.”
While the House chamber is larger, the seating arrangement with minimal tables enables a much larger seating capacity. Take the desks out of the Senate and set up chairs throughout the chamber, it could likely accomodate the House, Senate, Supreme Court, Chiefs of Staff, and Cabinet members, but would be very limited on other guests. However, if Nancy forces the issue, this is where it should go - and likely many Democrat Congress members would opt out of attending leaving seats for more supportive guests. Leave an empty seat for Nancy simply for effect.

I don’t think they can afford to be rude. Consider the backlash Wilson got. But it is years later and standards have fallen, Trump Derangement Syndrome has made anything possible. Some idiot might even try to throw a shoe at the president.

Clarification, seating would need to also be in the Senate gallery, which seats a few hundred

And talk about seating. I’ll bet those Covington students will be there. Heck, if Pelosi bars him, hold the State of the Union Speech in Kentucky. Might be McConnell’s first visit back in years, but bet he’d welcome some face time with his constituents.

My comments were based on the current set-up - didn’t think about them removing the desks. I agree with the Senate being next best choice after the House. I did read that the Senate would have to vote, Mitch can’t have the President give the speech there on his own authority (?).

As I said before, I trust Trump to get it done, one way or the other! Win-win, as long as he actually gives the speech, somewhere, somehow.

Do it in the Senate Chambers and only 100 People will have Seats, the rest would be forced to stand through the entire Speech.

Make sure the Notorious RBG has to stand too. After all, she works out.

Talking about RGB. I saw to guys yesterday sitting in the row in front of me on an Atlanta to Salt Lake City flight, both watching the RGB documentary. I can’t imagine any flight being that boring. Guess they were virtual signaling.

I thought that a barrier to entry was immoral. Nancy said that it was...

The irony, the twists and turns, the subplots are better than the best novel. Our President is a Magnificent Bastard! Anyone who questions his intelligence or the size of his gonads will get run over.

Were they holding hands and crying?

Maybe they were Baby Parts Salesmen for Planned Parenthood on a Business Trip.

She must be huddled with her millennial consultant team trying to figure out how to respond. I can hardly wait.

LOL, but I think it’s ‘expected’ she won’t be putting in an appearance due to her lengthy ‘recovery’ from surgery. She’s already had to cancel an event Jan. 29th and another on Feb. 6.

The Jan. 29th date is “interesting” .... was that on purpose to avoid the SOTU since she’s already shown her bias where Trump is concerned? Or was the 29th SOTU date a coinky dink? Inquiring minds would like to know!
