So his model is King Charles. Coffin and all?

King Charles I enters parliament quite without invitation and in defiance of privilege

No president can enter the chambers of Congress uninvited, and Bozo's invitation has been withdrawn.

Ms. Pelosi can order the Sergeant at Arms to not admit him.

It is absolutely not up to him.

Trump vows to deliver State of the Union from House chamber

"I will be honoring your invitation, and fulfilling my constitutional duty, to deliver important information to the people and Congress of the Union States of America regarding the State of our Union," Trump wrote.

He said the speech would occur on January 29 from the House chamber.

"It would be so very sad for our country, if the State of the Union were not delivered on time, on schedule, and very importantly, on location!" he wrote.

As speaker, it is Pelosi's prerogative to invite the President to deliver the annual address. 

It is also her prerogative to insist on a written State of the Union report.

It was certainly not up to Wilson to decide he could instead deliver a speech to a joint session of the Congress, or to decide whether they would accept that as the constitutionally required report.

Much less was it up to him to decide whether they would even receive him and allow him to speak.

All this is true despite the ignorant continuing insistence of blabbermouths of all networks that the president could decide, all on his own, that a speech delivered at a backyard barbeque at Mar a Lago would suffice to fulfill the constitution's requirement.

[Update. Latest TV news stories indicate somehow some of the talking heads are beginning to realize that so absurd and ignorant a view is, well, absurd and ignorant.]

Are they really that ignorant or is this them knowingly taking his side, even at MSNBC, to force the Democrats to give him something?

Elsewhere in the news it is reported the White House asked for and was denied a walk-through by the Sergeant at Arms to prepare for the usual SOTU at the originally agreed date.

The media are doing their best to trivialize this conflict, missing altogether its historical and political significance.

This is a huge authoritarian push by the Duce, and Nancy cannot yield without grave consequence.
