Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: According to scholars of the presidency and proponents of the “traditional/modern” rhetorical presidency, the initiative to speak to, as one of, and for the people of the United States is a 20th century development. “Popular address” and “popular rhetoric” as they have been coined, are used by the president in his addresses to appeal to Congress and the people. According to the tenets of the “traditional/modern paradigm, those presidents of the “traditional” presidency were, by the reverence of their position or the limited powers directly granted in the Constitution, prevented from utilizing popular rhetoric in their addresses that would attempt to move or speak to the greater populous of the country. However, as seen in this paper, this type of public-address rhetoric was not necessarily foreign to even those who predate the official formation of government in the United States. The focus of this paper is to examine the usage of public address rhetoric within the State of the Union Addresses in order to identify trends and determine whether presidents since the founding of the United States have used popular appeal and rhetoric in their address, or whether the introduction of going public is indeed a “modern” development that was little used in the rhetorical past of the presidency. Specifically, I look at instances in which the president attempts to address his audience as one of them, attempts to use his presidential position as justification for his arguments, and those instances in which the president actually makes a command or request in his State of the Union Address.
