Can someone explain to me why Nancy Pelosi is at the presidential address? She's retired?

“ A member of the House since 1987, Pelosi currently represents California's 11th congressional district, which includes most of San Francisco. She is the dean of California's congressional delegation.”

Still doesn't belong there.

[BarryLiverstone]

You asked for an explanation. I provided one

[Asker]

Yes, and I told you that doesn't earn her a seat there.

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s why she earned it. Ty for the superb answer

[BadApple69]

Because like so many of those old democrats they run things behind the scenes. Obama is retired too but he was running the Biden white house.

she is not retired , she just does not have a leadership role anymore.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. Retired from speaker / leadership position, not Congress.

[Dargil]

She wants to be watched as she fossilizes.

[Anonymous]

She thinks she is entitled to be there.

[Asker]

If she's someone's guest I don't have a problem with it. But like you say, length of service does OT earn you a chair after you retire. This is prime example of what is wrong with our gov't the RULES should be the same for EVERYONE.
