Pelosi changes tactics
When asked Thursday about the State of the Union, Pelosi shifted away from security concerns and focused on the lack of payment.
Does Trump have to go to the Capitol to give the speech?
No. For years, the president delivered the speech as a letter to Congress, and per the Constitution, both chambers have to invite the president to come. On Wednesday, Pelosi told reporters that Trump "can make (the address) from the Oval Office if he wants."
Can he?
Article II, Section 3, of the US Constitution states, in part, that the president "shall 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." It doesn't mandate the location or method of delivery for the address. Trump could deliver the address in a letter (which past presidents have done), from the Oval Office or wherever he wants.
Pelosi's complaint about security for SOTU speech is bogus - she knows it
CNN exposed her fraud on the public.
While she planned to be junketing and gorging on Belgian chocolate.
She can fly commercial - John Boehner did
But- She would rather walk naked down Lombard Street Than fly first class with the hoi polloi that voted for her.
This report from CNN - a news organization that "Knows it's Stuff!!"
Nancy...we don't need no stinkin' security!!
