Trump&rsquo;s address this week also isn&rsquo;t required by law, while an annual State of the Union address is.<\/p>\n<p>Addresses to a joint session of Congress are historically relatively common, particularly in response to major events. While Friday&rsquo;s contentious Oval Office meeting between Trump, Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">JD Vance<\/a>, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is likely to feature in the speech, it was planned well before the blow-up.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s second administration has been notable for its feverish pace, with so many moves undertaken that Democrats have struggled to respond. His changes to U.S. international diplomacy, the federal government, and the law have been some of the most drastic and fast-paced of any modern presidency, especially compared to his first term. Tuesday&rsquo;s speech will allow him to explain and defend his bold moves.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who will be in attendance?<\/h2>\n<p>Supreme Court justices are expected to attend the address on Tuesday. As is the case in past State of the Union addresses, the vice president and speaker of the House, Vance and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), in this case, respectively, will sit behind the president.<\/p>\n<p>The guest list has become a lightning rod for messaging, particularly for Democrats who have struggled to regain their footing after blistering losses in November.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) privately asked Democrats to fill their guest list for Trump&rsquo;s&nbsp;first speech to Congress with people affected by the Trump administration&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fired-government-employees-mar-yosemite-national-park-with-disgraceful-display\/\" title=\"...
