Thanks.

Regrettably, the of Art. II does say “shall” “require” a president to deliver, in some form, his own assessment concerning the state of our “union”, to the attention of a divided Congress, occasionally or whenever.
Our future may well return to rendering that archaic requirement appropriate and necessary, should we actually collapse into the early times of communicating by carrier pigeon. It is widely predicted.
Meanwhile, the vulgar spectacle is increasingly descended into a mockery, for its lack of decorum, if not the very image of an unauthorized public protest.
(Recalling Pelosi, before the POTUS departed from the podium and with CSPAN cameras rolling for the world to view, she publicly and hatefully shredded his “required” address with her bare hands. and a historic copy of it prepared for each member of Congress.)
(Nevermind The Squad’s particularly proud protest, along with all House Democrat women representatives dressed in white, demonstrating against POTUS Trump, turning their backs on the POTUS.)

Happening temporarily will soon morph into what is coming.
