    Someone made a point that made sense to me - they definitely do security cross checks, but not necessarily political checks.

    My understanding is that they can invite who they want. I would guess based on the assumption that the speaker (an elected official himself) has the good sense to thoroughly vet who he’s bringing through the front door

      Actually, I made that exact mistake. Security checks, not background checks. I guess it’s fair to assume that a nonagenarian won’t be drop-kicking anyone.
