I think it may be a good idea to identify the constitutional mandate for the president's SOTU speech. I find it strange how the actual speech departs so much from the language of the constitution.

Current SOTUs involve so much showmanship, that I find them really bizzare.

quote:

US Constitution Article II. Section 3 He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Of course I'm not. That's why I'm leaving. I wouldn't be surprised if conservatism/republicism (?) in our presidential office stays around in the US for the next 20 years (the only exception in the last 20 was Clinton).
