Biden's first address to Congress is invite-only
CBS News, Apr 24, 2021

Only invited members of Congress will be allowed to attend President Biden's address to a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday, and the event "will be invitation-only for a limited number of members of Congress," according to a memo from acting House Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett.

Any members who have not received an invite from their congressional leadership "will not be permitted in the Capitol after 5 p.m.," according to the memo obtained by CBS News.

The sergeant at arms noted the event is restricted due to COVID-19, although it's unclear exactly how many members, and which ones, will be allowed in the Capitol. Unlike a typical address before a joint session, invited members will not be permitted to bring a guest. First lady Jill Biden will also attend, but will not bring any guests. Mr. Biden is set to deliver his first address to Congress on Wednesday at 9 p.m.

If the "Uninvited" show up is it an Insurrection?

Does it mean that those who aren't invited don't have to answer to him?

It's the Speaker's show, so.....

Let the "uninvited" House members and Senators show up and try to crash the scene (as on January 6).

Are they going to try to arrest THEM...?

I think absolutely they would.

The democrats and Chinas covid-19 decides what laws are legitimate and what procedures can or can't be followed, with full democrat backing, of course.  One party government rule is so much more convenient,eh ?  Thank you NeverTrumpers!
