When we gather to protest and demand trump's resignation, Federal officials, understandably, will be concerned about a possible violent incident resulting from our protest and demands for 47 to resign.
Trump probably will ask for protection for him from the Police and National Guard. That will be despite our cooperation with security personnel and intent to be completely non-violent.
Before we begin, our best strategy is to meet personally with the political leaders in Congress, two each in each house, the police chief of the DC police, the Secret Service and the commander of the National Guard to assure them that we will not tolerate violence or vandalism from our occupiers. If they deem it necessary to arrest some of our people, we will help them do that. Then we will replace those detained with others.
Here's where we can gather legally, per chatgpt:
Yes, the public is allowed to congregate in the U.S. Capitol building, but not in the chambers where the House of Representatives or the Senate meet. Here's how it works:
Public Areas: The Capitol has various public areas, such as hallways, galleries (for viewing legislative sessions), and other designated spaces where visitors can walk around and explore.
Galleries: The public can access the galleries of the House and Senate to watch sessions, but they are not allowed on the floor where the actual proceedings happen. There are specific rules regarding who can attend, and visitors typically need tickets for entry. These tickets are sometimes available through congressional offices.
Capitol Visitor Center: Located underneath the Capitol building, the Visitor Center offers exhibits, historical displays, and guided tours. This area is open to the public, and visitors can learn about the history of the Capitol and the legislative process.
Restricted Access: While visitors can explore certain areas of the Capitol, access to the legislative chambers (the House or Senate floors) is highly restricted, and only those with specific permissions—such as lawmakers, staff, and invited guests—can enter the chambers during a session.
So, while people can gather in public areas and the Visitor Center, they cannot be in the chambers where legislative business takes place unless they have a special purpose or permission.
