He doesn't have a "right to address Congress". As a conservative Republican, I would actually support bringing Articles of Impeachment against him for abuse of power in invoking this clause of the Constitution to deliver this speech.
The Constitution says otherwise, he may address the Congress in certain cases.
He can call on them to convene under an “extraordinary occasion.”
Delivering the state of the union is not an “extraordinary occasion,” I don’t care how stubbornly stupid you are.
I haven't said SOTU is the extraordinary occasion. The extended government shutdown could be. Disagreement between the two houses could be. He can use is to adjourn either or both houses to deliver the speech and try to resolve the problem. Any speech. And call it "I feel talking to Congress today".
Speaking of stupidity, I'm not worrying about yours, neither should you... if is gonna make you feel better, you're not alone, a lot of people have no talent.
”I haven't said SOTU is the extraordinary occasion.”
The hell you haven’t...
Second, according to the Constitution, Article 2, Section 3.
State of the Union, Convening Congress:
"He shall (President) 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, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."
...
President is within his constitutional rights, and Pelosi has no right to deny him a SOTU.
Clearly, even you are so embarrassed by your own stupidity, you’re trying to run from it now. Sadly for you, like glue, it’s forever stuck to you.
”The extended government shutdown could be. Disagreement between the two houses could be. He can use is to adjourn either or both houses to deliver the speech and try to resolve the problem. Any speech. And call it "I feel talking to Congress today".”
You’re actually getting dumber.
Article II, Section 3 allows a president to convene,
while they’re adjourned, under “extraordinary occasions.” And when such a meeting is convened, it still doesn’t mean he meets with them or can give a speech about anything from the floor of the House. The Speaker of the House still controls who may do that.
Newly-elected Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in an
interview published on Thursday that the Constitution considers her equal to
President Trump.
When Pelosi was asked whether she considers herself equal to Trump, she said, "The Constitution does,”
The New York Times reported.
Pelosi's position as Speaker makes her the second in line for the presidency should something happen to Trump, after Vice President Pence, according to the Constitution.
The House on Thursday
elected Pelosi as Speaker for the second time in 12 years, a historic return to power for the nation’s first female Speaker. Pelosi's reelection made her the first lawmaker to become Speaker in nonconsecutive Congresses since 1955.
Pelosi during the Times interview recounted a White House dinner last year during which men spoke over her, which she said prompted her to ask, "Doesn’t anybody listen to a woman in the room?"
“Hopefully that will become a thing of the past now that we have so many women in Congress — and with the gavel,” Pelosi told the Times. “The gavel makes a big difference.”
