    Oh nothing can physically stop him. You are correct. But the speaker can control if the house is in session.

    No session = No broadcast.


    I know you guys think Congress works for President, but it’s just not true.

    Certainly he can. Doesn’t give him leadership of the session. Even then the Speaker is still in charge of the house.


    But did you feel this way when Boehner refused a joint session with President Obama?

    You are just blowing smoke out of your ass

    The president can call a special session of congress whenever he wants to there os nothing pelosi can do about it

    Thats why her carefully worded letter only “requested” that trump consider postponing the speech

    I said he certainly can. Doesn’t give him the floor.

    Unless you think he is going to walk in and bully his way to the podium. And she absolutely can remove CSPAN. So feel free to speak to nobody.

    Sounds like she basically just copy pasted most of what Boehner sent to Obama in 2011. I searched your history and you never uttered a peep then.

    If Nancy refuses to open the Govt, and refuses to have a SOTU...the President should seek plans to do it somewhere else. Nothing requires it to be done at the House.

    The Dems since taking the House have refused to compromise on legislation, causing the longest shut down in history, they proposed legislation to undo the basic foundation of our Republic, amending the Constitution to remove the EC, and now want to cancel the SOTU, another Constitutional provision. It's clear they want to fundamentally undo our Constitution and our nation. They are the biggest threat to our Republic

    First it’s more than just Nancy who closed the government. Compromise as in give President Trump what he wants or else? That’s not called compromise. The EC is not a fundamental foundation of our republic. Heck we didn’t even vote as citizens at first. The state legislature selects the President.

    And last Nancy never once tried to cancel the SOTU.

    No, not give the President or else...he's tried to meet with Dem leadership...and he's offered a compromise piece of legislation, that gives Dems many things they have claimed ot have wanted.

    The EC is fundamental to the Republic. Each State has a say in who is elected President. Of course we voted as Citizens...the State Legislatures (one who we vote for) Never voted for the President..Art II is clear the Electors vote the Electors are selected in a manner the State Legislature (again who citizens vote for) select.

    So your "noted popular liberals" are an aging rock star sending mixed messages and one of the most conservative Dems in Congress?

    Your other links did not work but given how you obviously NEVER bothered to actually read your own links it is painfully obvious that this is just desperation on the part of BLOTUS supporters.

    Wrong!

    The BLOTUS is only empowered to do so when there is an immediate crisis AND Congress is NOT in session.

    Neither of those conditions apply!

    Who decides what an immediate crisis is?

    Oh, and if Congress is already there, he wouldn't have to take the step of calling them in.

    In which case your beloved BLOTUS needs an invitation and without it he can stand outside in the cold and bloviate as much as he wants to.

    Abject failure to refute a single fact duly noted for the record.

    Yeah, trump can just stage another one of his crap rallies and call it the state of his deplorables speech. It will all be lies anyway, so who cares?

    Your own link just NEGATED your kneejerk denialism.

    I would love to see your obese BLOTUS being frogmarched out of the House.

    Same goes for Trump.
    Americans blame him for the shutdown. Time for him to end it.

    My first reaction to that article was who the heck is jack herrera?

    He does not appear to be very well known and is certainly not well informed

    Trump can call a special session of congress and speak on the house floor any time he wants to

    And he can keep congress in session for as long as he wants
