Nancy Pelosi has asked Trump to move the State of the Union address, per @FoxReports. “Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government re-opens this week, I suggest we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened..."


Has this ever been done before? How will GEOTUS respond?

WASHINGTON: JUST IN: House Majority Leader Hoyer tells CNN “The State of the Union is off.” Pelosi has asked Trump to postpone it over Gov shutdown.


quote:

BREAKING: Hoyer's office walking back his statement that the State of the Union is off. "Mr. Hoyer had not read Speaker Pelosi’s letter and mischaracterized it.”



CNN went from Pelosi’s letter. To the SOTU being cancelled. To Trump cancelled it. To a full blown retraction of it being cancelled.

If she has such concerns over security, there are 5.7 billion simple solutions to that.

Just do it from the White House in a nationally televised speech.

If she refuses then Cocaine Mitch should simply offer to have it in the Senate chambers.

That makes about as much sense as everything else coming from her mouth. What security concerns?!?! Is she threatening something? Is she aware of something? I think that will go over as well as her refusal to negotiate.

The speech is usually given in Congress. Could Nancy just cancel it and make Trump do it somewhere else? Serious question.

Trump should say he’ll provide the security personally.

“Don’t worry Nancy, I’ll make sure the people guarding you have guns. I know that’s important to you.”

Trump could type up a letter and send it to Congress, which is the way it was done up until the last century when radio/television made it possible for the President to address the nation. There is no requirement for the President to address Congress personally.
