Chairperson, as the Speaker indicated at the beginning of this sitting, this sitting is called by the President in terms of the Constitution. The disruption we saw was a direct violation of the Constitution. [Applause.] We should not, therefore, be selective as to when it's constitutional and when it's not.
The disruption of the President delivering the state of the nation address in a sitting called in terms of the Constitution is in itself a violation. It's a violation of the Rules with respect to Joint Sittings of the House as called by the President in terms of the Constitution. I thought you knew the Rules very well. I suggest you read Rule 7 of the Joint Rules. Thank you, Speaker. [Applause.]
