"The State of the Union in 2014" details key agenda items and priorities for the remainder of the year, as laid out by the President in his fifth State of the Union address. These include efforts to expand equality of opportunity for all Americans, the possible veto of an Iran sanctions bill that would derail the negotiations underway to resolve what he referred to as "one of the leading security challenges of our time without the risk of war," and his intention to move more initiatives by Executive Order, where possible.

The analysis features insights from Patton Boggs attorneys and policy professionals representing both sides of the aisle, all of whom possess considerable experience in the Washington political arena.
