Nancy Pelosi to Trump: Reschedule State of the Union address or just submit it in writing to Congress because of shutdown
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday urged President Donald Trump in a letter to either reschedule his State of the Union address or deliver it in writing to Congress while the government continues to be partially shut down.
Pelosi, a California Democrat, in a letter to Trump, cited "security concerns" related to the shutdown's effect on the U.S. Secret Service, which provides security for the president's annual State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress.
Trump currently is scheduled to deliver that speech on Jan. 29.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, citing the government shutdown, urged President Donald Trump in a letter Wednesday to either reschedule his upcoming State of the Union address or to deliver it in writing to Congress.
"He can make it from the Oval Office if he wants," Pelosi, D-California, later told reporters.
In her letter to the president, Pelosi noted "security concerns" related to the partial shutdown's effect on the U.S. Secret Service, which is reponsible for security for the president's annual in-person address to a joint session of Congress.
That speech, which is nationally televised, currently is scheduled for Jan. 29.
"Both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now — with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs," wrote Pelosi.
"And since the start of modern budgeting in Fiscal Year 1977, a State of the Union address has never been delivered during a government shutdown," wrote the speaker, who also cited historical precedent for nearly all presidents delivering their address in writing prior to the early 20th Century.
