what people who typically pack into a day what others do in a week or month are working on behind those attentive faces. She's supposed to have a ferocious memory, which must be a tremendous asset at these long, long ceremonies.

when drumpf gets on stage, i'd love to see her rip off her outfit, revealing she is dressed as wonder woman underneath.

she lasso-of-truths on drumpf who admits everything and resigns on the spot. she then roundhouse kicks him right out of the chamber

she then grabs a mic and climbs up on top of the railing they sit behind. she turns and looks at pence. "You want some of this, motherf****er???" pence resigns too and runs off the dais. "Go home to mother!"

She points at john roberts. "Get your ass up here, i'm taking this bitch over!"

Roberts scrambles up and swears her in as president on top of a stack of drumpf's tax returns.

She picks her suit up off the floor, dresses herself again, and says "now, where were we?" and proceeds to deliver a kickass SOTU.

probably unlikely to play out that way, but it would be entertaining to see.

The SOTU does not have to be delivered in person. Since the advent of TV it has become expected, but if they really wanted to flip him the bird, the House could invite him to send them a document instead of inviting him to give a speech. That would really tweak his nose.

It'll never happen because all of the cries of "incivility" that would ensue, but legally speaking it is possible.
