for that. Then, he'd have the announcement about how super healthy his magnificent body is.

When is the SOTU speech? "I've got my contacts with Putin...the guy won't leave me alone."

What do the people expect, an 8-hour day? It takes him half that to reset his wig.

That's probably why he had to delay the announcement. No biggee!

12. state of the union has no fixed date constitutionally.....

The President “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.” Article II, Section 3, Clause 1.

Recent presidents have delivered the speech in january. Some never read it. They just sent it over to congress and released it to the public as a proclamation.

The requirements, as you can see, are brief and vague. But, this illegitimate POTUS is a media whore, and will milk it for all he can get.

George Washington only gave one State of the Union speech to Congress, then submitted the rest in writing.
Congress, in that one address, was so rowdy and disrespectful that POTUS #1 refused to talk to them again. Rather prickly, that Mr. Washington.

You'd have thought Teddy Roosevelt would have done those...he was pretty much always ready to give a speech, whether people wanted one from him or not.

That would save a lot of work and planning, and it is the current state of the Union anyway in his mind.

Bill Palmer is predicting this is because the wh has some inside info that something really big will drop weds, and he is trying to pull eyeballs away from it.

Hopefully its muehler time, although I think he is still trying to arrange a direct interview the orangeutan.

We'll watch everything he considers fake and decide for ourselves.
