House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that Democrats will not authorize President Donald Trump to give his State of the Union in the House chamber until the partial government shutdown ends.
The California Democrat's letter to Trump escalates a standoff over the annual address hours after the president said he would give the speech in the House chamber next week as planned. Earlier this month, Pelosi urged him to reschedule the speech during a partial government shutdown.

Attempting to stop the President from speaking to the people?
Lock. Her. Up.
She’s batchit crazy.
There should be a few thousand patriots surrounding our POTUS, willing to escort him into OUR HOUSE. They would open the door, guarantee it.
This is getting to be fun.
Article II, Section 3, US Constitution:
“He [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; *he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them* . . . “
Well, she said she wouldn’t allow the SOTU to be given in the House Chambers. Looks like Trump has license to do the SOTU anywhere else in any fashion he desires. Can’t wait to hear Nancy and the media bitch about how it violates protocol.
Trump should show up to the House chamber, p1$$ on her gave and in her chair, give his speech and go back to the WH
I darn guarantee PDJT has some tricks up his sleeve she has no idea about - her arrogance and hatred have blinded her...she couldn’t recognize a trap if she saw one...need the StarWars alien pic...
Instead of getting mad, just realize that this is playing right into President Trump’s hand. He will win this one without a doubt, even with the press backing criminal Pelosi.
So the President can’t give the speech but she was planning on using military aircraft and see the troops for a week. Okie dokie.
If Con is the opposite of Pro, then what’s the opposite of Progress?
No, he must deliver the address from the House Chamber as scheduled. Pelosi and the democrats be damned.
Pelosi chose the battlefield and now it must exhibit her spilled blood. Trump can rid himself of this scum by destroying her once and for all.
He should NOT do it in front of a Commie Congress anyway..just have it done at the Oval Office instead, or a rally at a border state where Angel Moms and Dads can speak
He can give it in the Capitol Rotunda.
CAPITOL ROTUNDA. Standing Capacity: 1500 Seated: 900
That’s just as big as the HOR. As a matter of fact, he should give it there not just this year, but every year until Pelosi no longer holds the HOR gavel.
No, he needs to face her sorry a$$ down.
Correct but we have know this since 1880
Strike. Counter-strike. Trump cancel’s Pelosi’s military aircraft. Pelosi cancels Trump’s State of the Union (in the House, anyway).
Yes, I know the SOTU is constitutionally mandated. But neither of these two moves is worse than the other. Just two folks playing hardball.
Sarah Sanders said they have a back up plan.
Trump need to stand firm. Give the SOTU in the House chamber....Period!!
