If the President of the United States every year his state of the Union speech before both chambers of Congress in the house of representatives, sitting behind him, traditionally, the Vice President and the speaker of the house. As a Donald Trump occurred in the past year, for the first time on this stage, were sitting in his back his party friends Mike Pence and Paul Ryan . This year Vice-President Mike Pence is taking its place again.

Next to him is sitting on this Tuesday evening, however, Ryan, but Nancy Pelosi , the democratic speaker of the house. Whoever looks always so in the Auditorium, on Trump, is directly behind him, slightly raised, Pelosi see that watches over the house and also about the President. It will be the clearest image of the fact that the power have shifted conditions in Washington.

for the First time since 2010 the Democrats after the Midterm elections last November, the majority in the house of representatives, and that complicated things for Trump, significantly, he must not experience, most recently in connection with the State of the Union Address, the speech on the state of the Nation. After Trump had been placed by the government authorities for several weeks, partially paralyzed, in order to get from Congress the money for a wall on the border with Mexico, had Pelosi invite him. He could keep his address elsewhere or in writing. This was as much a symbolic as an unheard-of maneuvers, which led among Democrats, the need to let Trump for two years, had to humble, to great joy.

A particularly fine peak

The President loves the big stage. Of note, he could submit his speech in writing, therefore, was a particularly fine tip, a dirty trick. After Trump had initially considered, to speak in fact, elsewhere, when he was finally small. The government authorities took up the work again, although the Congress had appropriated no money for the wall, and Pelosi invited him in return to speak at this Tuesday in the house.

leading the way these Speeches are rare. It is important that the American democracy celebrates itself, with a blaze of glory. In addition to the politicians, the chambers of the Congress, the members of the Supreme court, will be in attendance, guests of honor, to be mentioned some of which, because of their special merits for the country. The most controversial question in front of this year’s speech is whether or not Donald Trump proclaims a national emergency, without the consent of Congress to the wall on the border to Mexico to build. However, this is unlikely.

“Immoral” structure

Up to 15. February to draw up a non-partisan Committee’s proposals for how border security could look like in the future. For So long, it means in Washington, it is Trump to wait before he considers the proclamation of the emergency. The Problem in the negotiations: Trump has repeatedly said that he will not expect to see in the body a lot, and not a compromise to accept, allowing him to almost six billion dollars for the construction of the wall.

Democrats boss Nancy Pelosi, however, has said that it will give her no money for a wall, since such a structure is “immoral”. There is actually no agreement could Trump forced to impose a new so-called Shutdown, that is to say: Many of the just returned leaders were servants, their work once again.

Trump likely to go into in detail in his speech on the Situation on the border.

to send, According to the AFP news Agency the US defense Ministry has decided in the midst of this dispute, 3750 additional soldiers to the border to Mexico. This is to support the customs and border protection. The Pentagon, the soldiers are to be used for a “mobile Monitoring” of the border, and a length of 240 kilometers of barbed wire lay. Their use was planned for three months. With the deployment of the number of deployed soldiers increases, 4350.

The White house had in advance announced that Donald Trump will address in detail in his speech on the Situation on the border. It is expected that he warns against violent Gangs, drug smugglers and human traffickers, which was only overcome with the construction of a wall. The President, however, wanted to of striking conciliatory tones and calling for a new collaboration with the Democrats. It is necessary to forge new coalitions. However, it is open, and how credible these statements are worthy of to be taken after the President occurred in his first two years in office, especially as a splitter.

abortion

another focus of the speech will be on the right to abortion, or a possible limitation of the same. It is considered likely that Trump invites an anti-abortion activist in the Lodge of his wife Melania. Finally, it means the White house will Trump think of a ten-year plan to get to the HIV epidemic in America in the grip.

you can apply apart from the fact that Donald Trump speaks extensively on the economic achievements of his government, above all, about the fall in unemployment. For a President in the middle of his first term in office, the state of the Union speech before Congress is not only a Celebration of American democracy, but also the start of the election campaign for the two years later, the upcoming presidential election.
