Which member of the federal government was officially uninvited to the speech?
111995
Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson stayed away from the address in case of a catastrophic attack or accident.\n\nBy long-standing tradition, a member of the president's Cabinet misses the speech to Congress as a precaution against the entire administration being wiped out and to maintain the presidential line of succession.

I admitt to this being a guess but I would think it would be the American colonists. The Boston Tea Party was in 1773 and more and more American's were refusing to drink tea because of the tax.

He was impeached by the House of Representatives, not the Senate.  According to the US Constitution, only the House can  impeach someone.  An impeachment is not an official punishment in itself, but once someone is impeached, the Constitution requires the Senate hold a trial to decide if the accused should be removed from office.  The result of the party-line vote in the Senate was not to remove Clinton because Republicans did not have the 2/3 vote needed to remove him.

None! The Constitution has no provisions on the matter. As to previous poster your refering to the rule for Senators & President. Not the Justices....

Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States (1963–1969). After serving a long career in the U.S. Congress, Johnson became the thirty-seventh Vice President; in 1963, he succeeded to the presidency following President John F. Kennedy's assassination. He was a major leader of the Democratic Party and as President was responsible for the passage of key civil rights legislation and Medicare, a major "War on Poverty", as well as the acceleration of the war in Vietnam. He was elected in a landslide in 1964 but his reelection bid in 1968 collapsed as his party fell apart, and he announced that he would not seek re-election.

not only are we censored, but the feds listen in on our phone calls, and then try to arrest us if we talk bad about the government. It is a direct violation of the 1st ammendment, but no one in the government cares.

Andrew Jackson's disregard for native Americans is not unlike our current administration's disregard for any people that do not agree with their world view.  They are not given basic rights.

The cornerstone was laid by President Washington on September 18, 1793. Because of Thornton's inexperience, the initial work progressed under the direction of three architects in succession. Stephen H. Hallet and George Hadfield were dismissed because of inappropriate design changes they tried to impose; James Hoban, winner of the competition for the President's House, was placed in charge and saw to the completion of the north wing for the first session of Congress on November 17, 1800.

She should not be "honored for voicing her opinion at a time when no one really wanted to hear a dissenting opinion" as is said above.  She not only betrayed the country but-even worse-she betrayed the soldiers over there.  Read some of the stories told by actual Americans who were over there and what happened in some of the POW camps she visited.  Does the word "treason" mean anything?

William J. Goebel (January 4, 1856 – February 3, 1900) served as Governor of Kentucky for a few days in 1900 before he was shot by a sniper on January 30 as he walked up the steps of the state capitol. He was sworn into office on his deathbed the next day, January 31, and died on February 3. He was the only state governor in the United States to be assassinated.\n\nThis might not qualify as a "US" (federal) politician since he was a state governor, but it's an interesting factoid!

Andrew Jackson. \n\nOur president was illiterate, and when having to sign on a bill, he would have to have someone approve it in writing for him. \n\nOne day, the person hired to do it was unavailable, and when he signed the document he wrote "OLL KORRECT" which is how he though all correct was spelled, and ever since OK has been adapted as an all correct statement.

Bill Clinton.\n\nI did not have sexual relations with that woman.

Not George Washington!  He also wasn't the 2nd, 3rd, 4rth...\n\nIn 1781 Maryland signed the Articles of Confederation, creating the 13 state union.  John Hanson, who signed for Maryland, was immediately elected president of the assembly (chosen unanimously by Congress).  Hansons formal title was "President of the United States in Congress Assembled".\n\nGeorge Washington even addressed Hanson as "President of the United States".  After Washington became president Hanson sent him a letter of congratulation.  Washington replied, addressing the letter to the "President of the United States."\n\nMaybe y'all should know a bit more history before blasting off rude comments, eh?\n\nGreat question!

Ask Cindy Sheehan. The only areas they "allowed" protest during the Republican Convention last election was nowhere near the actual convention hall. I've been forcibly removed from a public area while waiting to see the president because I had am Anti-Bush shirt on. They claimed my ticket was invalid and charged me with trespassing, oddly enough I was released after the speaking engagement. So apparently we no longer have the right to assemble where we please unless we are for the gov't
