When Is The State Of The Union Address?

[GromsDad]

Two questions:

1. When Is The State Of The Union Address?

2. Will it be in prime time or noonish to avoid a sundowners episode?

Obama gave his first in January 28 just a couple of weeks after taking office. Georgeie Bush gave his first on January 29th. Trump gave his first State of the Union in February.

When is Biden's going to be? Prime time?

What's the hold up?

What's the hold up?

The state of the union is fucked. Who wants to give that status update?

 

[enframed]

Maybe he already did it. It's not required to be public, only to Congress. It only became public after radio. Maybe he'll break with tradition. Maybe he's not doing it publicly just to be an asshole. You have no problem with that.

Yeah, it's fairly obvious. And half the country won't believe what he's saying anyway. Kinda seems pointless this year to make it public.

The state of the union is this: The right and the left are in the midst of a non-shooting, winner-take-all civil war. Everybody else just wants to get on with their lives. The end.

Derp.

Trump's greatest SOTU moments


Trump gave his first SOTU on January 30, 2018.

Derp.

stop disputing CJ’s lies with all your factual information.


George W Bush gave his first SOTU, actually an “address to a joint session of Congress”, on February 27, 2001

 

[enframed]

It's not an annual requirement, just "from time to time."

 

[hal9000]

Other presidents who gave Addresses to a Joint Session of Congress in their first few months:

-Reagan
-Bush 1
-Clinton
-Obama
-Trumby

Written SOTU:
-Carter (1978), Ford gave the 1977 SOTU at the end of the term.

-Nixon (1973)
-Hoover - all were written
-a bunch of others gave only written SOTU
-Lincoln- all written

63% of all SOTU given have been speeches, 37% have been written statements, 2 presidents gave no sotu at all.

CJ really at a fever pitch today.

The 15 minutes I've been on here in the past 24 hours? LOL. You're drowning in your own stupidity Hal.

So you had all the time in the world to properly sculpt this thread, yet you completely fucked it up. Good work,

Perhaps you can answer my questions:

1. When Is The State Of The Union Address?

2. Will it be in prime time or noonish to avoid a sundowners episode?

Probably a full year in. Just like Trump before him.

No.

CJ hates it when all his hard work in creating new false goes to sh!t.

 

[GromsDad]

Nothing to add so you quote yourself? That's a lame way to cry out for attention.

 

[afoaf]

Wrong.

he is right on the facts


The president gives remarks at the invitation of the speaker of the House — in this case, Rep. Paul Ryan — and it's up to the speaker what the speech is called, says Gerhard Peters, co-director of the American Presidency Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Ryan invited Trump to give an "address" and not a State of the Union speech. That's mainly out of tradition: Trump, like his predecessors in the first year of their presidencies, is assumed to be too new to the job of running the country to authoritatively describe the state of the nation.
