A6 NATION East Oregonian Thursday, January 24, 2019 Pelosi says no State of Union during shutdown By KEVIN FREKING, MATTHEW DALY AND CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press WASHINGTON — In a high-stakes case of dare and double-dare, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi served notice Wednesday that President Donald Trump won’t be allowed to deliver his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress next week. She took the step after Trump said he planned to show up in spite of Dem- ocratic objections to the speech taking place when big swaths of the govern- ment are shut down. Denied that grand venue, Trump promised to come up with some sort of alter- native event. But the White House was scrambling to find something matching the gravitas of the traditional address from the dais of the House to lawmakers from both parties, Supreme Court justices, invited guests and a television audience of millions. “I think that’s a great blotch on the incredible AP Photo/Susan Walsh President Donald Trump speaks at the White House in Washington on Wednesday. AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., responds to reporters after officially postponing President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address until the government is fully reopened, at the Capitol in Washington on Wednesday. country that we all love,” Trump said. “It’s a great, great horrible mark.” Fireworks over the speech shot back and forth between the Capitol and the White House as the month- long partial government shutdown showed no signs of ending and with about 800,000 federal workers facing the prospect of going without their second pay- check in a row come Friday. Pelosi told Trump the House won’t approve a res- olution allowing him to address Congress until the shutdown ends. Trump shot back that Pelosi was afraid of hearing the truth. The drama surround- ing the State of the Union address began last week when Pelosi asked Trump to make other plans but stopped short of denying him the chamber for his address. Trump called her bluff Wednesday in a letter, saying he intended to come anyway. “It would be so very sad for our Country if the State of the Union were not deliv- ered on time, on schedule, and very importantly, on location,” he wrote. Pelosi quickly squelched the speech, writing back that the House “will not con- sider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened.” The president cannot speak in front of a joint session of Congress with- out both chambers’ explicit permission. A resolution needs to be approved by both chambers specifying the date and time for receiv- ing an address from the president. The gamesmanship unfolded as the Senate pre- pared to vote this week on dueling proposals on the shutdown. A Republi- can one would give Trump money for the wall while one from Democrats would reopen government through Feb. 8, with no wall money, giving bargainers time to talk about it. Both proposals were likely to fail to reach the 60-vote threshold needed in the Senate, where Repub- licans hold a 53-47 major- ity. As well, House Demo- crats were putting forward a new proposal, aiming to lure Trump away from his demand for a border wall by offering billions of new dol- lars for other border security measures. The Constitution states only that the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,” mean- ing the president can speak anywhere he chooses or give his update in writing. The address has been delayed before. Ronald Reagan’s 1986 State of the Union address was postponed after the Challenger space shuttle exploded in flight on Jan. 28 of that year. Presidents Harry Tru- man, Dwight Eisenhower and Jimmy Carter issued their final messages in print. As Eisenhower recov- ered from a heart attack in 1956, he prepared a sev- en-minute, filmed sum- mary of the message from his retreat in Key West, Florida, that was broadcast nationwide. Richard Nixon sent a printed message in 1973; his staff said an oral message would have come too soon after his second inaugural address. White House officials have been working on a backup plan to have Trump give the speech somewhere else if Democrats blocked access to the House cham- ber. Nevertheless, they were rattled by Pelosi’s move Wednesday and expressed concern it would further sour shutdown negotiations. Sanders says it’s ‘laughable’ that White House is inaccessible By DAVID BAUDER AP Media Writer AP Photo/ Evan Vucci White House press secretary Sar- ah Huckabee Sanders talks with reporters on Wednesday in Wash- ington. NEW YORK — Fol- lowing the apparent demise of the traditional after- noon briefing of reporters, White House Press Secre- tary Sarah Huckabee Sand- ers told Fox News Chan- nel on Wednesday that any notion the Trump admin- istration is not accessible to the press is “absolutely laughable.” “I take questions from reporters every single day,” she said. Sanders’ venue for the statement, the morning show “Fox & Friends,” was familiar. Since Dec. 18, the day of the last White House press brief- ing, she’s given eight tele- vision interviews — six of them on Fox News Chan- nel, according to networks and the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America. She also appeared once on “CBS This Morning” and had a tough inter- view with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” which is seen on the Fox broadcast and cable news network. Sanders has been interviewed on “Fox & Friends,” the agenda-set- ting morning show popular with Trump supporters, on Dec. 21, Jan. 4, Jan. 9, Jan. 16 and Wednesday. On Tuesday night, she appeared on Sean Hanni- ty’s prime-time show. President Donald Trump tweeted a day earlier that he had told Sanders not to bother with the afternoon briefing with White House reporters because she has been treated rudely and inaccurately by the “fake news” media. “We’re in the business of getting information to the American people, not making stars out of peo- ple that want to be contrib- utors on CNN and that’s a lot of times what we see take place in the briefing room,” Sanders said. “We’re more than happy to take questions but we think that there should be a certain level of decorum and a certain level of hon- esty and responsibility that comes with that.” The White House Cor- respondents Association condemned the discon- tinuation of the afternoon briefing as a retreat from transparency and account- T HURSDAY A FTERNOON & E VENING ABC NBC CBS FOX 12 PM 12:30 1 PM (11) KFFX KPTV (19) KEPR KOIN (25) KNDU KGW (42) KVEW KATU PBS (31) KTNW (59) OPB Outback Divorce Steve!

Olivier Knox, pres- ident of the WHCA, noted that Sanders takes ques- tions from all reporters in the White House driveway after her live segments on Fox News. Other White House officials frequently do the same. He said those “gaggles” are basically briefings by another name. But with no set time for these meetings, reporters from smaller news outlets can’t always be there to get their ques- tions answered, he said. Fox News is Trump’s most frequent venue of choice for interviews, too. 2:30 3 PM 3:30 4 PM 4:30 7 PM 7:30 Last Last Man St. Man St. News (N) News News (N) (N) News News News News (N) (N) News News News News (N) (N) News News Arthur Business (N) Wild Wild Kratts Kratts 7 PM 7:30 6 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Modern Modern Family Family News (N) News Inside (N) Edition News News News Family (N) Feud KGW News (N) News News (N) (N) News (N) PBS NewsHour (N) Family Travel 6 PM 2 Broke 2 Broke Gotham "Ruin" The Orville (N) First at :35 Dateline "The :35 Mike Girls Girls (N) Ten (N) Phony Rockefeller" & Molly Feud Feud Gotham (N) The Orville (N) News (N) News Page Six The Big TheSi- The Big Young The Big Fam (N) S.W.A.T.
