- The Founding Fathers put in the Constitution that: "...from time to time...the President...make[s] speeches..." Based on the Parliamentary "Q & A" of the Prime Minister, the American State of the Union differs in that it is American and does not involve any of the snotty British traditions like taking a break for tea and crumpetts
- The State of the Union is an annual address given by the President of the United States to a joint session of Congress.
- The annual speech tells Congress and the entire United States what The President thinks. It is received in a room full of crusty and aging legislators who long ago lost their souls and have no lodestar except the desire to: 1.
* Bask in the reflected glory of the President's presence, and 2.
* Have all their impressionable constituents watch them doing so and thereby get the impression they have a fraction of the President's charisma.

| - The annual speech tells Congress and the entire United States what The President thinks. It is received in a room full of crusty and aging legislators who long ago lost their souls and have no lodestar except the desire to: 1.
* Bask in the reflected glory of the President's presence, and 2.
* Have all their impressionable constituents watch them doing so and thereby get the impression they have a fraction of the President's charisma. Federal law provides that, in addition to his annual salary of $400,000, the President gets one evening a year in a chamber where a crowd of fawning wannabes will deliriously applaud him for saying nothing of substance, and where everyone in the country can see that they did. This is not just a fringe benefit for the President, but reassures even the most incompetent American citizen that his poorest and most meaningless work might have someone welcome it, by virtue of the welcomer being even worse — or might lead to a lifetime sinecure, if he can simply find a boss who is eager to be surrounded by suck-ups.
