Instead of recognizing that it is not up to the President whether he speaks or not - he can simply request to speak on a certain date - some people are very quick to blame the President and predict that he will "cave" if Boehner refuses to invite him to speak on September 7th.
The President can only speak before Congress if he's INVITED to do so - he can't just show up in the chamber of another branch of government and start talking.
