The conservative rocker who said that he would be "dead or in jail" if President Barack Obama was re-elected has been invited to attend Tuesday's annual State of the Union address.
In a statement provided to Politico on Monday, freshman Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) said that Ted Nugent would be attending Obama's speech to Congress as his guest.
"I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama," Stockman said. "After the Address I’m sure Ted will have plenty to say.”
Earlier this year, Stockman threatened to initiate impeachment proceedings if the president used executive actions to limit gun rights.
"I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment," he said in a statement
While Nugent doesn't have the power to impeach the commander in chief, he has suggested that his "buddies" would be willing to start a new American Revolution if the Obama administration attempted to "re-implement the tyranny of King George" with gun control.
Last year, he told National Rifle Association members that "I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year" if the president was re-elected. He has also called Obama a "piece of shit" who should "suck on my machine gun."
The Secret Service eventually interviewed The Motor City Madman and determined he wasn't a threat to the president.
While recalling his meeting with the Secret Service to CBS News, Nugent seemed to lose control of his temper and told reporter Jeff Glor that he would "suck your fucking dick" and then "fuck" a female producer.
Most recently, Nugent wrote that civil rights leaders and other "liberals are two-faced hypocrites" for giving the president a pass on a program that allows the United States government to target American citizens overseas with drones strikes.
"Jesse Jackson and Al Not-So-Sharpton would be lisping their ebonic mumbo-jumbo that the policy and the president are racist and bigoted," he opined in a World Net Daily column. "They would organize protest marches in front of the White House, where they would burn effigies of the president."
Nugent has until April to make good on his promise to be "dead on in jail by this time next year."
Update (3:44 p.m. ET): Nugent told The New York Times that he would "demilitarize" himself by refraining from bringing a firearm to the president's speech, according to Times reporter Jeremy W. Peters.
