    Default State of the Union speech

    Trump is thinking of giving the
    State of the Union at a MAGA rally.
    To his white trash fascist followers.

    Have you heard if there is going to be a 1-800 number scrolling at the bottom of the screen asking for Donations for his Re-election Campaign?

    Nope, they can be "informed" by watching it; because there is nothing that says he has to submit a written form or where he has to do it at.

    I think it has to be a direct presentation.
    By letter or in person - but it's directed to Congress, and not for them to just tune in

    Not from what I read; because it's more of a tradition, more then anything else.

    It's not just a tradition. It's a Constitutional duty. It's directed to Congress. by letter or in person

    that refers to "oral requirement" (you put it in red.)
    it even says there was an expectation that the "message be delivered orally" before Jefferson

    It does not negate a required written letter/speech to Congress..
    The denial part is it's by Congressional invitation

    It says:
    Although it is not a requirement....

    Expectation does not mean required.

    Show me where they can issue a denial, in the Constitution.

    I doubt that.. It used to be published in the newspaper rather than a speech.. it was a written report.

    formal basis for the State of the Union Address is from the U.S. Constitution: The President “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.” Article II, Section 3, Clause 1.

    And like I've said, it gives no required procedure.
