Within a few weeks, around late January or early February, the President delivers the annual State of the Union message to a joint session of Congress. The speech is a major political event and is based on this constitutional command. 
The President has almost always presented his annual assessment in person. Members of Congress, together with the members of the Cabinet, the justices of the Supreme Court, the foreign diplomatic corps, and other dignitaries, assemble in the House chamber to hear him.]]> 2017-11-09 15:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205317410 arnellefloyd https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205319396 Every Other January, the 435 individuals who's  been elected to the House come together at the Capitol to begin a new term.

The message is widely covered by the news media. The chief executive's speech is as much a message to the American people, and to the world, as it is an address to Congress. In it, the President lays out the broad shape of the policies the administration has charted for the nation. The message regularly includes a number of specific legislative recommendations, along with a plea that Congress will enact them. Its presentation is soon followed by scores of bills drawn up in the executive branch and introduced in the House and Senate by various members of the President's party. 
After the speech, the joint session is adjourned. Each house then separately turns to the legislative business that will come before it.]]> 2017-11-09 15:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205327637 richalys https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205332823 2017-11-09 15:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205332823 richalys https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205334623 2017-11-09 15:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205334623 richalys https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205340994 2017-11-09 16:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/arnellefloyd/congress/wish/205340994
