Rejected petition President of the US should be allowed to address Parliament due to his office,

On 6 Feb 2017 the Speaker of the House of Commons publicly expressed his opinion on the matter of inviting the President of the United States of America (POTUS). This was an outburst that embarrasses the United Kingdom by insulting the office of POTUS and undermines the impartiality of the Speaker.
