Hi John,
If the president can’t manage to submit his budget request to Congress on
time, why should he get the grand stage of a State of the Union speech for TV?
Our Constitution does not mandate a glitzy State of the Union spectacle.
In fact, before President Woodrow Wilson's progressive era, the “State of the
Union” message was often a simple printed book or letter mailed to Congress.
But here’s the thing: President Biden's eagerness, like his predecessors', to
deliver this high-profile speech gives Congress a powerful tool to demand
accountability.
The SUBMIT IT Act, introduced by Senator Joni Ernst and Representative Buddy
Carter, aims at fixing the issue of late presidential submissions to Congress.
This legislation requires presidents to provide Congress with both a budget
request and a national security strategy before giving any State of the Union
address.
By withholding the SOTU address until these crucial documents are submitted,
the SUBMIT IT Act aims to empower Congress to fulfill its duties more
effectively, hold the President accountable, and ensure a timely start to each
year's legislative priorities.
John, I'm reaching out to you because I value your dedication to advocating
for better budgets, fiscal responsibility, national security, and the
Constitution. If we want to ensure accountability and timely action from our
leaders, we need to advance this legislation.
I put together a case for it right here that you can share with fellow
concerned citizens

It’s the highlights of my argument on the Trish Regan Show last week, which
you can see here <[link removed]>.

We are making real progress in public opinion—because Americans like you know
we cannot let Biden and other presidents disdain deadlines and procrastinate
constantly.
As Biden prepares to make his State of the Union address this week, missing
and ignoring these legal deadlines, it’s a great time for you to help draw
attention to this critical reform.
Thank you.
— Kurt
