There doesn’t even have to be a speech. Jefferson just sent a letter.

Never mind Jefferson - except for Washington in 1790, NO President delivered his report to Congress in person until Woodrow Wilson in 1913, and a written report was substituted as recently as 1981.

Congress CLEARLY does not have to provide THIS venue for Obama's required report to them, and, IMO, they shouldn't.

As a matter of fact, of ALL the things they could do to highlight the lawlessness of this regime — and to signal that he is not a dictator who can bypass what the Founders clearly intended to be the most powerful branch of government at will — would be to send him a note to the effect that he is not invited to appear in their venue.
