Oh Good Grief

Nan, you don't own Congress any more than you own our military aircraft.  From a little document called the U.S. Constitution:

Article Two, Section Three:

"He 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; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to time of adjournment, adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."

The "he" being the President.  Originally I was OK with Trump giving the SOTU address from the Oval Office or maybe the border.  Pelosi's response to Trump today makes me all in favor of him invoking his right to convene both the Senate and House and telling them to have their asses in their seats on the date and at the time he specifies.
