gamifying politics
So folks, tonight’s the Annual State of the Union address, as proscribed by Article II, Section III of the U.S. Constitution:
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
This “annual message to Congress” has been happening since the earliest days of the country, and became the traditional and largely formalized “State of the Union” address under FDR’s watch in the 1940s. it’s developed something of a pattern since then, enough to be somewhat predictable, at least enough to make a game out of it…like BINGO or something a bit more lubricated.
With that in mind, as I do every year, I post the rules to the annual State of the Union drinking game. Please be both civically engaged socially responsible.
