Biden till oligarkerna: Ska ta era yachter och privatflyg

The State of the Union Address (sometimes abbreviated to SOTU) is an annual message delivered by the president of the United States to the U.S. Congress near the beginning of each calendar year on the current condition of the nation. The State of the Union Address generally includes reports on the nation's budget, economy, news, agenda, achievements and the president's priorities and legislative proposals.The address fulfills the requirement in Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution for the president to periodically "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." During most of the country's first century, the president primarily submitted only a written report to Congress. After 1913, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. president, began the regular practice of delivering the address to Congress in person as a way to rally support for the president's agenda. With the advent of radio and television, the address is now broadcast live in all United States time zones on many networks.Since 1934 during the first term of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd U.S. president, the State of the Union has typically been given in January. In 1981, Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. president, began the practice of newly inaugurated presidents instead delivering an address to Congress in February of the first year of their term, but not designating that speech an official "State of the Union".
