Did I miss President Biden's State of the Union address?
Or is it still a go? Most of the Earth’s future is tied to the USA.
What would you like to have Americana’s short and long term goals be? Like space exploration and colonization? Poverty? 5G tech? Covid? Ect…
Also does the United Nations give a world update? Where can I watch it?

He hasn’t done one yet. Not sure he will this year.
Because of the January 6th insurrection, the State Of The Union has been delayed.
The President is Costitutionally obligated to do it.
Once option would be a televised address. The SOTU doesn’t have to be done in the House chambers.
I believe Reagan did one this way.
The President isn’t obligated to deliver any kind of public address at all. Or indeed to appear before Congress. He is only obligated to periodically deliver information about the state of the Union (hence the name) to the Congress. For much of this country’s history this done in the form of a letter. The notion of the SOTU as a public address pretty much come about with the television age.
As for the timing of the address – both chambers must vote on a date, then the President must be formally invited by the Speaker of the House before he can appear to deliver his address.

This is what the Constitution reads:
“He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient”
So there is no annual requirement. It’s just “from time to time”.
@KNOWITALL That’s not a State of the Union I don’t think. It’s just a speech.
It’s not the State of the Union.
I thought he may have meant this one. It was pretty good!!
It is on April 28th, 2021. I will watch.
