So this year's State of the Union will be delivered in writing only? (It is a constitutional requirement donchaknow...)

Article II Section 3 of the Constitution says:

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;

We've gotten used to annual SOTU addresses, but "from time to time" in ObamaTime is next year. But it will have "all the trappings" of a SOTU address, which means he will receive all the accolades as he enters the chamber, without any of the expectations of a SOTU address.

Wow.

The man knows how to back up his shortcomings with fine print and iconoclasm.
