President Obama cut a promotional video ahead of Tuesday's State of the Union, his final while in office, telling viewers his final address to the nation would be for them.

While this could mean anything from discussing last month's historic Climate Accord in Paris to restored relations with Cuba to a record-low unemployment rate since January 2009, the brunt of his speech is likely to focus on gun control.

Obama sat down with CNN's Anderson Cooper last week to stress the importance of passing gun reforms laws in the wake of mass shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College and at a the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino.

According to the Associated Press, a seat in the First Lady's box will be left vacant in homage of victims of gun violence. San Bernardino victim relatives and first responders will be in attendance.

Conversely, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will give the Republican Party's opposite response. Given her ethnicity - she's the daughter of Indian immigrants - general approval in how she responded to last June's Charleston church shootings, and the fact that she's one of few prevalent women in the GOP, there is reason to believe Haley was chose in a run-up to a vice presidential campaign.

The 2016 State of the Union marks newly elected Speak of the House Paul Ryan's first time seated at the Speaker's desk, a role filled by John Boehner from 2011 to 2015.
