You're really stuck on this huh?
Just messing. I just found the word "fantasizing" an interesting word choice.

Well it's not like she's out of stationary. Let's see how he reacts.The phrasing she is using is asking him to change it, not demanding it. Even if that was her intention, the nuance will be lost on him or they will deliberately ignore it. So if she really wanted to straight up cancel it, she should've been more direct.
Political posturing aside. It really isn't wise to have the SOTU without a fully funded Secret Service. The entire federal government(President, Congress, SCOTUS, Cabinet, etc) is in one room and its a massive security operation.Oh my god his rage will be glorious.
So Pelosi has the power to cancel and force the POTUS to reschedule?
Right and I get that but.. did she effectively move the date? Or can POTUS refuse and do it anyway?Political posturing aside. It really isn't wise to have the SOTU without a fully funded Secret Service. The entire federal government is in one room and its a massive security operation.
I wonder if the Dems would boycott the speech. And would that favor the GOP or the Dems.
He can't do it in House of Rep chamber without her but he can do a fake one wherever/whenever he wants outside of that.Right and I get that but.. did she effectively move the date? Or can POTUS refuse and do it anyway?
President can hold it anywhere except the House, which Pelosi governs.Right and I get that but.. did she effectively move the date? Or can POTUS refuse and do it anyway?

Thank you.POTUS can give a speech, but he cannot give a SOTU address from the House Chamber without explicit permission from Pelosi.
Seems unlikely that he'd "submit" to being pushed off of TV.Real speak, the Constitution just says that he has to deliver a state of the union to the Congress. He'll probably just submit it to Congress in writing right before delivering it from the Oval Office, unless there's a magical end to the shutdown beforehand.
There's nothing he can do about it. He's not a king.Lolol, I don't think anyone is fantasizing.. just discussing how it all might shake out. Trump isn't going to give it up quietly.
If I were him I'd be happy not to it during the shutdown. It'd be hard to claim that the state of the union is strong with his speech side by side next to footage of federal workers protesting on CNN.
What could he even say at the SotU? Everything is fucked at the moment but it's the way I want it? I guess he'd just rant about Democrats or something. Please cancel it.
No, however the last written one was Carter in 1981Has a speaker ever not allowed a president to not make their speech/address?
I don't think he can do that, but neverthelessIt will look and sound pathetic without a cheerleading section. More likely Mitch invites him to do it in the Senate.
Senate Chamber:
What are the odds that Trump goes to Alabama and gives the SOTU at one of his MAGA rallies? Sean Hannity can be there for the post-speech wrapup interview.
No doubt he'll just do what he always does, praise himself and say how much of an expert he is at everything and how the Democrats are unpatriotic for not funding his wall and they're to blame for the shutdown not him.
I'm guessing that this version of Trump is based on those weird political cartoons where he's always buff.He is gonna force his way intonthe House Chamber and deliver it in front of the Congress, official Speaker of the House ruling or not. He is not gonna let anything get in his way
I don't think he can do that, but nevertheless
House Chamber:
Senate Chamber:
One of these is suitable for a SOTU with full congress, cabinet and Court, the other is not. Same goes for some Oval Office address, it would look pitiful.
If he does it from the white house, he can still hold it in a larger room with select sycophants to applaud him every 10 seconds.
It would sound pretty weak compared to previous addresses... imagine him pumping in crowd noise tho lol

You're reaching here, bro. What do you want her to do, say "Bitch, you betta not show up!"?"I suggest that we work together on rescheduling" is the same thing as please, and an ask, not a tell.
That would look pretty limp and pathetic. And he knows it.If he does it from the white house, he can still hold it in a larger room with select sycophants to applaud him every 10 seconds.

She can stop him from making a speech in the House and she can force him to submit a paper State of the UnionOh my god his rage will be glorious.
