Bush: State of the Union speech

World Net Daily is one of the sites with the transcript of the SOTU speech.

I once had someone, in an argument, mention the SOTU speech as one of the few duties the President was required to do by the Constitution. I had to point out that the Constitution only required the President give the Congress a report on the State of the Union "from time to time". And there was no requirement that it be a speech. Indeed, the Constitutional requirement would be met by a periodic e-mail to each member of Congress.

And of course, the Democrats have their response. All they're willing to say is, "There's a better way." But they're not telling what it is.
