Sláinte!: A Peck of Pickled Peppers

By Edythe Preet, Columnist
October / November 2004

The United States Constitution states that the president “…shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” (Article II, Section 3).
