I hate Nancy Pelosi

“I invite you to deliver your State of the Union address before a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, January 29, 2019 in the House Chamber.”

Sounds a lot like an invitation to me. :shrug:

Once again, that is not the official invitation. If both the House of Reps and the Senate do not pass a joint resolution, there will be no joint session of Congress and everything else is mute.

At any rate I'm no longer going to argue this.

A House concurrent resolution sets aside the day and time for a Joint Session “for receiving such communication as the President of the United States shall be pleased to make to them” and is passed by both the House and Senate.

A Joint Session takes place when the House and Senate adopt a concurrent resolution.

The White House couldn't even get it together to have a meal prepared for Clemson yet you think they are running at full sail?

Actually, The White House put out a nice spread for the Clemson team. They're college kids and every indication is that they enjoyed the food.

I haven't heard any of the team bitching.
The complaints all come from people who weren't there.

Must not be an official rescinding of the invitation then, either.

Why would she send a letter of invitation if she couldn't back it up with the joint resolution?

Usually when someone sends a "save the date" letter it's not worded as "I invite you." That is generally reserved for the invitation.

I wonder if she's simply too inexperienced to understand the difference you are pointing out.
