Wow, Trump is actually going to make a state of union address. Is it necessary or not?

He can just make it from Mar a Lago on another million dollar golf trip.

It's required by the Constitution, but not next week and it is not required to be in the House chamber.

In the hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's letter announcing she would not allow President Donald Trump to speak from the room she now controls, a flurry of suggestions and proposals emerged from Trump's advisers.

What about a speech on the US-Mexico border? Or an address at Philadelphia's Independence Hall, where the Constitution was adopted? Or a stately affair inside the White House, with an audience of Republicans?

No, Trump decided.

In the end, all those suggestions for an "alternate" State of the Union address were too narrow, too bland and too small. Instead, the President told them, he would wait for the only venue he really wanted for the annual speech: the US House.

While aides have still not ruled out some type of event next week to drive his message on border security and a wall, they have taken his direction and will not plan for a State of the Union address at any venue that isn't the House chamber.

Trump may still travel south to campaign for a wall, officials said it would not be billed as a State of the Union nor would it seek to fulfill the constitutional requirement to periodically update Congress on the country's condition.

Pelosi said he could then she took it away...Just like Schumer said he could have 25 Billion, then he took it away, now he is fighting over one dime going for any wall....

It’s a constitutional requirement that he gives one from time to time, but the constitution doesn’t say when. Of course, the founding fathers also never expected a chief executive to shut down his own branch of government as a bargaining chip for a vanity project from another branch, so this is all new territory. Did you know that almost half of government employees are military vets?

They are absurd political spectacles.

Since the state of the union is about as bad as it's been - ever - and it's his own doing. About all he can do is lie some more. I plan to skip it but I never sit through them anyway.

Do you have a source that is current?

Are you getting your news from Fox (I mean Pravda) again?

Wow, you are really bothered by this. Maybe it's time for some big boy pants.

Over a stupid wall? That's pathetic.
