| مستخلص: | "Early in his first term of office President Wilson revived the old custom, long since abandoned, of addressing an occasional joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives. The senators assemble in the lower House with its members. The most momentous occasion of this kind occurred on February 3, 1917. At this joint session President Wilson announced that at that very hour Count Con Bernstorff was being given his passports to leave the United States. This meant that all diplomatic relations with the German government had been severed. Congress and the country at large had expected this move on the part of the President. Just a few days before Germany announced its intention of sinking neutral ships on the high seas, contrary to its promise not to do so made to the American government in May, 1916. The President is seen reading at the desk right in front of Speaker Champ Clark's stand. The galleries are filled with interested spectators. The foreign Ambassadors and Ministers have a reserved gallery, as do the newspaper representatives. In addition to the Senators and Congressman, there were also present the Chief Justice and others members of the United States Supreme Court. That joint session of Congress addressed by President Wilson will go down in history, He found in response to his speech a untied Congress and a united people.-Taken from back of resource |
