House speaker Boehner Says Demand for Participation in Netanyahu’s Congress Speech is Unprecedented. (Algemeiner).

The office of House Speaker John Boehner revealed that demand for tickets to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming speech to a joint session of Congress is sky high.

So high in fact that it has outpaced any joint meeting since he was elected speaker, with 10 times as many requests than there are seats available, Politico reported on Sunday.

Despite the controversy, only a relatively small number of lawmakers have pledged to boycott the speech. Included among them are four senators and a few dozen House members.

Others who will boycott the speech include Vice President Joe Biden and US Secretary of State John Kerry. Both say they have overseas engagements at the time of the address.Read the full story here.
