CONFIRMED: Trump Doesn't Need Nancy's Permission to Convene Congress for the State of the Union It's

CONFIRMED: Trump Doesn’t Need Nancy’s Permission to Convene Congress for the State of the Union

It’s right there in the Constitution.

".....But, just as Pelosi  had no authority to use a military jet for her overseas vacation  with a Congressional delegation Thursday after Trump cancelled her plane, she appears to have no power to stop him from convening the Congress for the State of the Union, especially given the emergency at the southern border.

The legal precedent lies in an opinion from the Deputy Solicitor General for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a man by the name of George T. Washington, who, from his post at the Department of Justice,  told Congress that the president has the Constitutional authority to convene them even when they are adjourned, as they are now due to the partial government shutdown. ...."

"....If that is the road Pelosi and company want to take, Trump appears to have the legal authority squash them yet again – and he should."

Jen Psaki: Nancy Pelosi Really Showed Donald Trump Who Is Boss

Jen Psaki: Nancy Pelosi Really Showed Donald Trump Who Is Boss

".....This shows the entire disinvite to give a State of the Union address to be just what it looked like: a cheap, low-rent, puerile, power play. Far from being the “big leagues,” Pelosi acted as though she was the queen bee of some middle school mean girls clique who’d decided have a sleep over and not invite one of her rivals. She looked cheap and petty for very good reason. She is. And now she looks stupid in the bargain.

In on letter, delivered by tweet, President Trump let her know that her ability to jet around the world, scaring children and disturbing livestock, is contingent upon him letting her do that. He reminded her that the USAF responds to his orders. He also reminded the American public that Pelosi was being deliberately derelict in her responsibility because while she was enjoying five-star accommodations, on Uncle Sugar’s dime, the shut down could not end. And he reminded her that she is not the boss. She’s not even the deputy boss.

I think Trump did this because he and his inner circle realize that they have nothing to lose by heaping indignities on this dotty old bat. This gambit by Trump humiliated her and it definitely showed her caucus that she is not someone who Trump takes all that seriously. This is going to cause major problems for her going forward as she was in danger of not being made speaker to begin with and had to promise to term-limit herself. Despite that the addled but adoring Jen Psaki thinks, Pelosi damaged herself permanently with this little stunt and all of Washington, Democrat and Republican, will be laughing behind her back and she knows it....."
