House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week instructed the House's sergeant-at-arms to cancel a walkthrough for White House officials preparing for the State of the Union address.
President Donald Trump wants to go forward with the State of the Union on January 29 but would need Pelosi's permission to use the House chamber.
Pelosi has already called for postponing the address until the partial government shutdown is over or having Trump instead submit it in writing.
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump is still trying to deliver his annual State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress on January 29, despite barriers put in place by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who now controls the House chamber.
Under Pelosi's directive, a scheduled walkthrough last week for White House officials in preparation for the State of the Union was canceled. .........................................

For now, Congress has not approved a joint resolution authorizing an appearance by the president next Tuesday, so there is nothing scheduled for Pelosi to cancel. The resolution would need the support of House Democrats, who have followed taken their lead from Pelosi's lead during the shutdown.

It's held in the House chamber because it's much bigger than the Senate chamber.

(8,348 posts)is that, a session of Congress with both the House and Senate. No others need be invited or in attendance.

The House's chamber is big enough to accommodate the five hundred-plus people of a joint session. The Senate's is not.

(8,348 posts)I went to the Joint Session held in Constitution Hall in Philadelphia for the Bi-Centennial of the Congress. There is no stipulation on the size or location of the room other than what the Resolution calls for

(15,290 posts)I've seen CSPAN coverage where the hosts have said the cameras were turned off. I believe the CSPAN cameras are the only TV cameras allowed in the House and the Senate.

(8,348 posts)But he has to be recognized to speak by the Speaker or the Democrat she puts in the Chair, and that wont happen. Any Democratic Member of the House Simpally moves to Adjurn, which is a Privilidged Motion, they vote, the majority ( Dems) win the vote, shut off the cameras, turn off the lights, lock the Doors, go home and get a good nights sleep

Don't cc over 100 people, including the Speakers staff if you don't want your news on the street, or maybe that's just what they wanted.......

(26,322 posts)which is Pelosi cannot be overridden by the one for the Senate.
Really the only way to resolve this is to open the government back up but Mitch (The Coward) McConnell refuses to let a vote to do that come to the Senate floor for a vote.

(8,348 posts)It will not be a Joint Session of Congress, but the House and Senate Sergeant at Arms are independent of each other. They are elected officers of the House and Senate. They do not override each other but each independently control their sides, House/Senate and need to work together with the Architect of the Capitol. The three of them make up the USCP Police Board.
