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."
