First of all, that's completely wrong. All Congressmen and women are allowed to see the text of a resolution before being asked to vote on it. All of them. The text was available from July 14. No one tried to force a vote before then or immediately after then. That's a complete fabrication. I read the entire resolution in one sitting in an evening, highlighted a few parts, and then reread it the next day. Am I special? Am I a better reader than the members of congress? Of course not.

Having never worked in White House communications, neither you nor I can speculate as to when the final draft of the speech was finally finished. Unless you have some evidence to the contrary, there's no reason at all to suspect that a finished copy of the speech was purposefully kept from the public. Suggesting anything otherwise is entirely dishonest.
