7. They always designate a cabinet official to stay home from the SOTU

in case there's an attack on the capitol and the rest of the exec branch gets wiped out. There was even a TV series about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_Survivor_(TV_series)

There would still be a member of the administration in the line of succession to lead the country.
