accepted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's invitation to deliver the annual State of the Union on Capitol Hill on Feb. 4, the White House said Friday.
The announcement came two days after the House approved two articles of impeachment against Trump, making him the third U.S. president“In the spirit of respecting our Constitution, I invite you to deliver your State of the Union address before a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, February 4, 2020, in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives," Pelosi wrote in an invitation to Trump.
After Wednesday's House vote, the next step is for the House to send articles of impeachment to the Senate, which would hold a trial. Depending on the timing of the trial, the proceedings could still be going on when Trump goes to Capitol Hill for his address. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. R-Ky., said he believes there is"zero chance" the GOP-led Senate will remove Trump from office.Pelosi and Trump clashed this year after she postponed the State of the Union's initial date amid a government shutdown and negotiations over money for Trump's proposed border wall at the U.S.-Mexican border. Trump then halted her planned trip to Afghanistan with other lawmakers by denying them use of a government aircraft.
The address will take place one day after the Iowa caucus, the first nominating contest that will help determine the Democratic contender to challenge Trump in the 2020 election.
He's not impeached, McPaper.
Pelosi is pathetic
Get the popcorn ready because POTUS will be bring the house down!!! 🇺🇸
She is playing him like a well tuned Stradivarius.
I expect him to use this platform to condemn the impeachment. I applaud Nancy, remain civil through it all.
I hope he talks more about toilet flushing and 'women problems' like washing dishes. It was just so riveting. 🙄
I don't care I never watch his speeches, I can't take watching him give a speech from a teleprompter it's brutal.
Hopefully he'll incriminate himself once again for the 1000th time... Even then Republicans will claim he's innocent If President Donald Trump shoots Sen. Moscow Mitch McConnell in the head, in Congress, on live TV, during his Speech, Republicans will still say he's innocent
Not impeached yet
Unfortunately he'll make it there. Hoping for republican Senate members to do the right thing and get him out before that date...
Impeachment lite
He's not impeached until it goes to the Senate
Because she thinks he'll be gone?
Prolly be all about his impeachment lol
Should have turned her down and gave it from the Oval Office
How could he turn down the opportunity to open his mouth on live tv?
How is that? Already House Impeached, can Deliver State of the Union Speech!
