In response to "Why isn't it being called The State of the Union address? Is it protocol to not dub it such when its your first? -- nm" by Qale

Sometimes, especially in recent years, newly-inaugurated Presidents have delivered speeches to joint sessions of Congress only weeks into their respective terms, but these are not officially considered State of the Union addresses. The address is also most frequently used to outline the President's legislative proposals for the upcoming year.

In my opinion it's not possible to give the State of the Union address when you've only been in charge of the union for little over a month.

I figured as much. I was hoping it wasn't because Obama was trying to be different in this tradition. -- nm - Qale Feb 24, 18:01 1
