    You realize without the Joint Resolution there won't be a quorum of congress there and his speech will therefore not satisfy the state of the union requirement as it was not delivered to a quorum of congress?

    The only persons appearing inept are those that don't understand how separation of powers works.

    Again, it must be delivered to an assembled quorum of congress. Whether that's done by congress passing a joint res and appearing for the speech, or him having a messenger drop off a letter with the sergeant at arms when congress is sitting in the building to be read as part of the housekeeping matters that start the day.
    Super bowl doesn't count.
    Nor do the networks have to give him time.

    This is only happening in a few days. Lets find out together.

    I suspect you will be disappointing.

    It was kind of a joke, but he just wants to talk to a TV camera. He can still drop his speech off in the mail slot in Nancy's door...

    Dirty Donnie and his cast of trumpettes can have have their SOTU rally anywhere they want. I suggest the White House(assuming they have running water and electricity).

    DD's fake "sadness" aside, he's still holding 800,000 federal employees hostage and still lacks the votes for his personal boondoggle.

    His oval office speech got fewer viewers than the Pelosi/Schumer response.

    I got 5$ that says the Democrats rebuttal to Trump's SotU gets a higher viewership rating.

    There has to be a majority house vote to hold the SOTU address in the house chamber. Pelosi is holding dems hostage. Trump just canceled the SOTU address. He could do it at another venue such as the Senate chamber, outdoors or in an arena but it is unlikely that many if any dems would show up. Chuck on the senate side is Nancy's puppet. Wonder what she has on him? Anyway, he and other senate dem probably wouldn't show either side they are all sheep too.

    Pelosi has now shown how little she respects the office of the presidency. It was bad enough for the old bag that she didn't give a crap about boarder security. She has caved to the radicals to save herself and only herself. I think her days as speaker may be numbered. Very bad move on her part.

    McConnell can vote on the bills approved by the House - that were previously passed by the Senate in December. That would be a law Trump could also sign.

    No wall does not equal "open borders". People can be in favor of border security and also recognise that Trump's wall is an inefficient vanity project.

    There is no 'border security' without a wall, or some other efficient barrier. You can check with the department heads who work there rather than accepting Nancy Pelosi's word.

    The point is that if it is an emergency, he should take immediate action. If your house is on fire you don't send text messages to your neighbours and see if they bring enough buckets of water to put it out. You call the fire department or 911 immediately.

    After a hurricane, a president doesn't wait a few days or a few weeks and see if Congress comes up with some money. He activates federal resources immediately.

    The fact that Trump floated the idea of calling a national emergency, and hasn't called it, is pretty good evidence that there is no emergency.

    He wanted to give the Democrats sufficient rope and they finally accepted.

    Wonder how the Government employee's union will react to her supporting this continuous shutdown. They must all be aware that she's using them politically and not 'morally'.

    He can call for a special session all day long. But the fact remains the crypt keeper has to give the ok for him give the speech. He can't just walk in take over the podium and start speaking. Like I said before stop screwing around and just do it right from the border, maybe some illegals will hop right over the border well he is on live TV. Or say screw it and do it from the Senate. Nancy has no control over that chamber.
