Abstract
This article examines the usage of popular address rhetoric within all the State of the Union Addresses to determine whether presidents have consistently used this rhetorical tool, or whether the introduction of going public is indeed a 'modern' development that was little used in the rhetorical past of the presidency. By looking at instances in which the president identifies himself with the people, Congress, or as president, the author finds that many formerly 'traditional' presidents exhibit 'modern' tendencies, which suggests inconsistencies with the 'traditional/modern' divide that is a commonly utilized paradigm in presidential study. Adapted from the source document.
