Congress Foreign Talkers
FILE - In this Dec. 26, 1941 file photo, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill addresses a joint session of the on Capitol Hill in Washington. Given anywhere else, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech Tuesday wouldn’t cause such a fuss. But a foreign leader denouncing U.S. policy from within the grand hall of American democracy upends nearly two centuries of tradition. A joint meeting of Congress, gathering senators and representatives together in the House chamber, is a ceremony typically bestowed on one or two friendly foreign leaders per year. It looks a lot like a presidential State of the Union address. The speaker embodies his or her nation; the audience of lawmakers represents all American. Behind him on the senate rostrum sat Rep. William P. Cole, Jr., speaker pro-tem, left, and Vice President Henry A. Wallace, right. (AP Photo, File)
