The United States House of Representatives, like all good legislative bodies, is an independent branch of government.

As such the president speaks there at the House's pleasure.

This year it is not the House's pleasure and San Fran Nan has disinvited President Trump.

Good.

The State of the Union is sooooo stupid. A dumb, scripted pageant filled with trained seals lapping up fish tossed at them by a ring master.

The president is merely required to report on the state of the union from time to time.

Till 1913 this report was delivered in writing.

The first president to address congress was Woodrow Wilson.

Reader(s) of William Stroock dot BlogSpot dot com are reeling from their smart phones, doing spit takes and saying, 'Woodrow Wilson! Great scot!' If a college professor thinks something is a good idea, it's probably not.

Nancy thinks she's being clever, but all she's really done is shown that she is out of her league, in over her head. Pick whatever metaphorical cliché you like, Granny de-Botox has given Trump the excuse he needs to deliver the SOTU at say, I dunno, the border!
