Here’s a story in March 2 HuffPost that tangentially bears on this: It does not bear on any ability to remove members from the floor, but does indicate that the House may make rules that will bar members from entering. In the case here, several Democrats were barred from attending SOTU because they had tested positive to COVID, and several Republicans were barred because they refused to get tested:

The level of snark there was uncalled for. Not everyone, indeed, follows the news, and even those who do, don’t read every story.
[Pedantic nitpick]
Even at zero temperature (which, surprisingly, is an excellent approximation for real neutron stars), neutronium is never solid. It’s always not only fluid but superfluid, with zero viscosity (though it’s not precisely “liquid”).
Okay, Pelosi shot him a look that would have vaporized superfluid neutronium.
I always liked P. G. Wodehouse’s “an eye that could open an oyster at sixty paces.”
Following up on my earlier point, I can imagine a President stopping mid sentence, turning to look at the Speaker and saying (presuming the Speaker is from the other party):
“You know what? You can just read this. When your members learn to act like professionals, I’ll return.”
Giving the state of the union on national TV is just political theater. If a president thought that walking out midway through due to disgust with the conduct of the opposing party would have a tangible benefit with the electorate, there’s no prohibition from doing so.
Didn’t the Republicans make a big fuss when Nancy Pelosi “disrespected” Trump’s SOTU by tearing up her copy while he was making it? I guess it’s okay for them, but not for others?
Maybe it is something for another thread but I want to know more. How do they glow? How do some emit energy (like a pulsar) if they are zero degrees?
