what they don’t know is that Sheehan was ejected because she and her cronies tried to hijack the president’s constitutionally mandated annual speech by shouting him down.

This is false. The constitution mandates that the President report to the congress on the state of the union from time to time, and it can take any form the President chooses. Until the television era, and making the SOTU message nothing more than a big campaign/political speech, Presidents submitted their message to congress in writing.

I know it's FrontPage but I'm not sure any media outlet knows the first damn thing about the Constitution.
