President Trump to give speech for the first time since returning to the office before the congress

Washington (WBTV) – President Donald Trump should appeal to a joint congress meeting on Tuesday evening, in which he is expected to take into account his turbulent first weeks.

Trump should give a speech on Tuesday, March 4, at 9:00 p.m. You can see live in the video player.

Trump's speech before the congress comes when he exerts great power, the almost daring legislators and dishes that stop him

Lisa Mascaro with the Associated Press Report: President Donald Trump arrives at Capitol Hill this week to give the congress a speech, a cooking of government branch, which he ended in office this first month and exerts the unimaginable power of the executive to get what he wants, into the house and abroad.

The address on Tuesday evening will develop in the chamber, in which the legislators crouched four years ago, while a mob of his followers roamed the halls and Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney and others swore to keep him from keeping an office again. It is the same home chamber in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed a hero in the first year of this war to combat the invasion of Russia.

Since his re -election, Trump has shot in the Federal Government in the federal government and, not only norms and traditions, but also the government itself. With billionaire Elon Musk at his side, he disappears thousands of federal workers, concludes legally defined agencies and popular Zelenskyy, while he positions the United States closer to Russia.

The Republican President dares to stop him as legal cases that have so far questioned the legality of the Trump government's measures.

“This whole thing about the approach to a constitutional crisis is not entirely true,” said Rep. James Clyburn from South Carolina, a high -ranking democrat in the house. “We're already there.”

Trump is growing alone, but there are limits

Trump swung in power to go alone, and is about to test the limits of his executive branch authority while he turns to the congress to provide tax cuts and other important aspects of his agenda. Only the congress can assign funds -or withdraw it -but the actions of the Trump management have tested this fundamental rule that is anchored in the constitution.

Trump also needs the legislator to finance the government and ensure that federal transactions are not closed if the money expires on March 14th. He will need the congress to say goodbye to laws to prevent economically harmful debt deletion, which he has urged to determine from the legislators.

While Trump enjoys the rare power in Washington, the Republicans control the white house, the house and the Senate, he relies on political fear and favor to motivate legislators. Since Musk poured 200 million US dollars into the choice of Trump, the President has a finished patron whose enormous political means can influence all resistance.

The spokesman for the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, who positioned himself as a partner of the President, said he was thrilled with what Trump does, to exploit the government, fraud, fraud and misuse.

“Fireworks” is what Johnson, R-La.

“The president does what he said on the campaign path that he would do,” said Johnson on Sunday in the Futures show on Sunday morning of Fox News Channel.

After their breathtaking rejection by the voters, Democrats slowly begin to resist. They combat Trump in court, with Amicus letter to protect the federal employee and the submission of legal provisions to serve as a check which house democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries calls the “parade of the horribuses”.

But as a minority party, they are limited in their power level. Jeffries wiped the demands for Democrats to boycott Trump's speech. “It is the house of the people. It is the House of Representatives, ”he said about CNN.

Instead, Democrats invite released federal workers to invite their guests.

Tax cuts and mass shifts at stake

One of the tax breaks approved during his first term in 2017 is one of the greatest challenges of his party.

Johnson and the majority leader of the Senate, John Thune from South Dakota, collect the GOP majority to deliver what Trump calls “large, beautiful bill”, which extends these tax benefits – and provide new ones. But the Republicans also want to cut budgets of 2 trillion US dollars with changes to Medicaid and other services that include millions of Americans, which could endure Trump too much.

Trump's other major campaign promise – the greatest deportation operation in the history of US history – is no longer in cash, and the border quota Tom Homan used the Republicans on the Capitol Hill to loosen the wallet in order to give the departments of home protection and defense departments the necessary money.

These budget debates are all come when the Trump administration tears apart the federal government and freezes federal funds. It is about questioning the law on the fitting of the Nixon era that prevents the executive from already approving the congress, and a showdown that could end at the Supreme Court.

“Testing the boundaries a little, I would expect that,” said Rep. Steve Womack, R-Mark, who said that he supports a lot from what the Trump government does to a certain point.

“We have separate but the same branches of government,” said Womack, whose committee controls great financing. “What we don't want is, we don't want a constitutional crisis.”

Life, livelihood and the echoes of January 6th

It is not just constitutional questions, but also the life and livelihood of the Americans. The municipalities are dependent on federal dollars – for clinics for health care, school programs and countless contracts for large and small companies that offer goods and services for the federal government. Many observe how the money evaporates overnight.

Republican Senator Jim Justice from West Virginia, a former governor, said that voters at home are concerned, even if they support the idea of ​​reducing the government.

“People are always afraid of darkness,” he said, particularly led to medical and preschool programs. “Give us time to really see what materialized before we run through the streets with flames.”

And the threat of January 6, 2021 hangs over the building.

Trump will be on the podium, where Pelosi, then the house spokesman, was brought to safety when the mob searched the Capitol. He will look at the ranks of the legislators, some of which blocked the back door to the chamber when the police broke off at Capitol rioters, and steps by Trump trailer Ashli ​​Babbitt were shot down and killed. Visitors will watch from the galleries in which representatives in gas masks crouch on the floor before they have been evacuated.

The Supreme Court granted Trump's presidential actions in the persecution of a broad immunity, and the fourth criminal charge against him on January 6 was withdrawn according to the policy of the Ministry of Justice.

In one of his first acts on the day of the inauguration, Trump gave a comprehensive pardon of all rioters, including the extremist leaders Stuart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio, which were condemned for turmoil. They have both returned to appear from the Capitol prison since their dismissal.

Senator Peter Welch, D-Vt., Was on January 6th in the Capitol.

“I recognize that he has won and he has the right to use the entire executive authority to pursue his policy. He has no right to exceed the constitutional authority, ”said Welch. “So how he does this should be of great importance for all of us.”
