He doesn't play golf, too much of a grown-ups game, but he spent a weekend playing Mario Cart against children at Camp David.

I'd pay to watch him attempt a one hour speech.

He's going to. There's no deadline. It was originally scheduled for yesterday but there's a lot going on. So give it a minute.

Yup- that's pretty much their standard, poorly thought out response. Another IGFLIP user recently mentioned that his great-grandparents died in a Nazi concentration camp- O-M's immediate, thoughtless response was, you guessed it "No they didn't". O-M later criticized me for taking their comment "Out Of Context"- as if there is ANY way to put a response like that in a good one.

Yeah, signing all the dictatorial executive orders takes time.

Has anyone told you there's a pandemic yet?

And what exactly has Biden done about it? He is responsible for almost 20% of all the U.S. deaths from the virus.

He only works about 1 hour a day, then he needs his naps. The White House has said he goes to bed around 7:00 pm. He isn't even awake enough to take calls from heads of state, Kamala has to take the calls.

There's a lot going on?

Sounds like an excuse made for an old guy with dementia.

Other presidents have had a lot *more* going on, thesis, and they've given the state of the union address.

So, what gives with Biden?

I had the same thought as well but a quick Google search shows that he doesn't have to do it (hate to take the libs' side here).

BUT - House & Senate need to pass a resolution and he needs to be INVITED BY NANCY PELOSI for the SOTUA or just a Joint Session Address!

So really, it falls on them/her.

Reading further, it has its own Wikipedia page, but no date has been set, begging the question - how in the actual f**k did they invite him without setting the date & time as they were required to?

(I know that some won't like the fact that I'm using Wikipedia as a source, but this isn't a college essay. Don't like my source? Find your own.)

I think you are confusing a State of The Union, which is not required in the first year of a new administration with an address to a Joint Session of Congress.

Every President since FDR has requested to address a Joint session of Congress their first year. Trump did on Feb 30th his first year, Obama did Feb 24. Every President has done it in Feb. After the first year, Congress must invite the President to give a SOTU.

Not confused, I know how to read. I didn't think that I had to spell that out. Did you read the provide links?

Your meme says "HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT BIDEN HAS NOT SCHEDULED AN ADDRESS TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS YET" (Caps locked because it's straight from the meme).

That is totally incorrect. Whether it's a joint session or the State of the Union Address, the house and senate must send an invite via the speaker of the house. "Because the address is made to a joint session of Congress, the House and Senate must each pass a resolution setting a date and time for the joint session. Then, a formal invitation is made by the Speaker of the House to the President typically several weeks before the appointed date."

(PLEASE read this - it contains the quote above https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_Union#Formality)

So AGAIN - how did the house & senate send an invite to this mystery thing that may or may not happen (we both agree on that, PLEASE read this site as well, it'll make your head explode).

every president attended the inauguration of the next POTUS. First Lady to new first lady, so much for that right?
