It looks like Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi has no intention of allowing the House chamber to be used for a State of the Union address.
Speaker Pelosi has informed the House Sergeant at Arms that no executive branch official will be permitted entry into the Capitol building.
Earlier Fox News reported Pelosi cancelled a walkthrough last week, and a second request for reconsideration from the White House is expected to meet the same fate. The House Speaker controls who is, and who is not, permitted entry to the House floor. Until Speaker Pelosi calls for a vote to support a joint session of congress, the President cannot enter the chamber.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley discusses the status of the current shutdown negotiations and the likelihood a SOU address will have to take place outside Washington DC.

Only a British Parliamentary system with its PM can avoid this kind of confrontation!
US constitution may soon have to be amended.

Their system has its problems, there is no perfect system as the politicians will ALWAYS find a way to corrupt it!

True.
I had always wonder about the possibility of a dead lock like this and now it has come.

Declare Marshall law, arrest them all and round them up! Then put them in an secure facility and tell them (the 435 Representatives and 100 Senators) they will stay there until they come up with a reasonable solution.
