America's new president gave an address to a joint session of Congress. The Los Angeles Times posted a full transcript of the speech (along with remarks from its staff that may require Javascript to view); Bloomberg uploaded a video of the event.

The New York Times called it "the most presidential speech Mr. Trump has ever given — delivered at precisely the moment he needed to project sobriety, seriousness of purpose and self-discipline."

    The whole point of the Presidency is to provide a single point of authority in the executive branch, the purpose of which is to make sure that the implementation of legislation only upholds the Constitution. That's it.

    Alas, The People are increasingly in awe of The President as some kind of kingly father figure, despite the fact that the term in office is only 4 years, or possibly 8 at the most.
