Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee....
(NBC News)
— If members of Congress want to be there to greet President Obama as
he walks down the aisle of the House chamber for his State of the Union
address tonight, they’re going to have to save their seats now.
There are currently four members holding their aisle seats for the
State of the Union address later today, more than nine hours before the
speech is scheduled to take place.
Those members (at the moment): Reps. Al Green (D-TX), Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), and Barbara Lee (D-CA).
But while Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) said on MSNBC Tuesday that members
can just leave items in a chair and claim it later, according to a note
sent to members from the speaker’s office this morning, if a member wants the seat, they have to stay in it the entire time.
This seat saving sounds do elementary school, but we are talking about democrats.
