State of Union speech to go on

Maybe we are looking at this all wrong. Maybe our conservative republican posters want to see tiny donnie come busting thru the House chamber doors and push his way to the podium like he pushed his way thru those other nation leaders at NATO and grab the gavel from Speaker Pelosi, hit her over the head with it and demand that everyone pay attention to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp44o3LR7Og

The President isn’t a king.

He is not empowered to physically force himself upon a co-equal branch of the government.

Were he to try, he would likely be arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House.

The President has no power over the House. He’s not a king.

He has no divine right to be obeyed.

If Nancy Pelosi tried to break into the White House Residence uninvited, she would be arrested by the Secret Service. The same applies the other way around.

At this point you are arguing to argue…the point is moot Trump conceded…maybe if they had you as one of his advisors you could have shown him the way…

He can’t let go of his tough-guy fantasies of Trump violently storming the House chamber.

Right. Like this guy is going to barge his way up to the podium.

Eventually, you may be right.

I was answering that post.

Are you saying that if the House Floor is closed, the President can order it opened? How would that work, exactly? Who would unlock the doors? The Secret Service?

Sorry, I forgot the sort of person I was talking to. Which do you admire more about Trump, his narcissism, or his nihilism? Maybe his sociopathy?

When it comes to authorities of any sort being able to impede him? Absolutely. If you want to remove him from the floor of the House by force, you will have to impeach and remove him from office first.

Total nonsense.

The speaker has the power to maintain order. If the president decides to act a fool, he can be removed. He isn’t a dictator.

Again. The President isn’t the king. It’s not a crime to touch him.

No I am arguing against the assertions in this thread that Nancy could hypothetically stop him if he wanted to enter the House or speak on it’s floor. She can’t. This cave is on him. Hard to understand why the people who hate him the most are making excuses for it but there ya go.

He is the Commander in Chief and can bring the full military might behind him to bear. Have fun trying.

My last post in this thread. Is Trump giving the SOTU in Congress on the original date? If the answer is “no”, Pelosi stopped him.

Totally clueless if you think the Secret Service is going to allow anyone to lay hands on a sitting President.

Is it Tuesday the 29th yet?

Why? Do you think the secret service is a private army? I wager they’d help drag him out too. For his own protection from his stupidity.

Quit with the hyberbole, no one will need to “remove him from the floor of the House by force”. He won’t be on the House floor during the shutdown.
