House Republicans ask Pelosi to reschedule Biden's address to Congress
By Cristina Marcos - 04/19/21 02:04 PM EDT


A group of GOP lawmakers on Monday asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to reschedule President Biden's address to Congress set for next week to a time when the House is in session.

They further called on Pelosi to extend invitations to all members of Congress, instead of limiting it to a smaller number due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Scheduling this address for a day when the House is not in session and prohibiting Members of Congress from attending would be unprecedented and undermine the very spirit of our representative, constitutional Republic," GOP Reps. Claudia Tenney (N.Y.), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Randy Weber (Texas), Russ Fulcher (Idaho), Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Dan Bishop (N.C.), Madison Cawthorn (N.C.), Greg Steube (Fla.) and Van Taylor (Texas) wrote in a letter to Pelosi.

If the House isn't in session why would he go to the Capitol to give the speech?

I have a C-Note that says only Rats will be allowed to be there. Some Joint Session.

"They further called on Pelosi to extend invitations to all members of Congress, instead of limiting it to a smaller number due to the COVID-19 pandemic."

How can it be an "address to Congress", when the entire Congress isn't "invited", isn't there...?
(just another dumb-ol'-Fishrrman question)
