Pelosi Suggests Delaying State of the Union

[Ame®icano]

Keep your hopes high, leftie.

He can deliver SOTU at his demand in Congress and there is nothing that Pelosi can do to prevent him.

LOLOL

Uh, no, he can’t.

US Constitution, Article 2, section 3. - check it out.

"... he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper..."

Dumbfuck, that refers to “extraordinary Occasions,” such as needing the Congress to convene while on recess when a national emergency arises.

Delivering the state of the union is not an extraordinary occasion.

What is the title of the article, soyboy?

State of the Union, Convening Congress

And "extraordinary occasion" can be whatever president deem to be extraordinary.

LOLOL

A common occurrence is not an extraordinary occasion. Not even trump, who claims to have all the best words, can spin that one.

He’s an invited guest to the floor of the House and Pelosi's in charge of the invitations.

You seem quite happy about it.

Can you just point to the Constitution where it says that "Speaker of the House" is in charge of invitations?

And your "smart boy" Barry wrote all of his speeches.

Surely not...but if he had, they would have been articulate and seemingly written by an adult.

Fine by me. I just hope he writes it himself, without assistance. Because that would be comedy gold.

What, all of a sudden you want presidents to write their own speeches? They haven't done that for a long time.

Right... nobody heard him talking of the script yet.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Not on principle or anything. Just trump, so we can laugh at it.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Then you weren't paying attention. I distinctly remember him destroying a room full of republicans with binders without as much as a note card. Remember that debacle? Fox news was so embarrassed, they cut away from the live coverage.

He'll give it and there is nothing you can do about it

Why would I want to do anything about it? It’s his constitutional obligation to deliver the state of the union to the Congress and he should do that. I’m not against that.

The question is ... from where will he deliver it? Pelosi does hold the gavel to prevent him from speaking from the dais on the House floor. And there is nothing Trump can do about that.

Who cares where it's delivered from.

Okay, so it's a fantasy along the lines of, "I wish Obama would play basketball on TV with a bunch of high school players, so we can laugh at him".

Sure I can. You could have too if you had a functioning brain. But then it appears you need to be educated by a Liberal; and towards that end, I am happy to oblige.

He entertained us when he threw out a first pitch and threw like a girl.

I would guess Trump does.

But the former State champion wouldn't really embarrass himself, but Trump trying to sound like an adult would .

 

[saveliberty]

Correct. President can write the letter. Or may just deliver SOTU speech on the House floor, as Constitution allows him. Speaker have no power over constitutional rights.

There is no specific time given in the Constitution and Pelosi has control over activities in the House as Speaker.

Trump can claim it's "extraordinary occasion" and plow his way into House, regardless of what Pelosi think.

At his age? He'd embarrass himself. I know you're desperate to suck up, but that's ridiculous.

No, I don't think that is the case. Pelosi has the right to deciding joint sessions of Congress. Shouldn't Congress have rights over their branch of government? Do I like it? No, but I see why it is that way.

U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 3. Read it.

That section covers the SOTU and convening Congress for other purposes (extraordinary). In this case Trump could use that clause to force Congress into meeting for the purpose of securing the border for example.

Nope, he can’t. The Speaker of the House decides who speaks at the House dais.

I tried to educate you. Sadly, you’re ineducable.
