When President Biden delivers an address to a joint session of Congress next week, only about 200 people will be allowed into the chamber and no House members or senators will be allowed to bring guests.
There will be no first lady’s box as is normally tradition for the annual presidential address to Congress. Most White House staffers are also expected to watch the event remotely.
The rules are being put in place for health and safety reasons as the United States continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.

Empty brain, empty suit, speaking empty words, to an empty chamber. About sums up the Biden administration. How can so much nothing be wreaking on this nation? Why are we allowing it?

Will Biden even be there? Still using the fake health and safety reasons to hide the fact that the radical left is taking over the country

Gee, what is our poor POTUS (President Of The United States) going to do without his faithful FLATUS (First Lady Against The United States)?

It's still not called the SOTU speech. Are they playing word games?

Oh, heck, might as well go all the way and let's call them PATUS and FLATUS (President Against The United States and First Lady Against The United States).

AYEEE. Coronavirus concerns among the Uniparty politicians who quietly made sure they were first in line for vaccinations. Slow Joe will keep his speech SHORT so as not to endanger other I'm sure.

Will Biden be wearing a mask during the speech? This way they can play a pre-recorded speech for when Biden phases our. All that he will need to do is stand up and move around a little, maybe look around and act like he is talking. The speech should be short as he as not actually accomplished anything except rip open the southern border. The media, I'm positive, will fawn and swoon over the speech no matter what Biden says as the most impressive Presidential Speech ever given.

I call BS!!! The rules are in place so that nobody notices that they couldn't get 100 people (including the press) to sit through 45 minutes of not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden reading whatever lies his handlers have written on paper for him to read!!!

If they follow established protocols, Jill will be standing beside him on the dais to keep him on track reading the teleprompter; stepping in to read for him when he loses his place and tells his earpiece to slow the screen down.

I thought all the Congress Critters were vaccinated long ago. Like Rand Paul has said, the masks and social distancing is all theater at this point.

They are obviously working to deemphasize the speech, hoping that few will be moved to watch it.
