US President Donald Trump All Set to Make His First Joint Address of Second Term
from NEWS 24 HOURS · host Vivi Mirna
The president may be the chief executive of the United States, but in modern times that individual also often wears the hat of "chief legislator."

Presidents traditionally use this speech to advance their agenda and push for new legislation, while also claiming credit for perceived successes.
