What the hell did I see on television this morning?

There was this slimy biomechanical robot speaking at a podium with the presidential seal on it, using words like "constitutional amendment" and "between a man and a woman" in the same sentence.

It was so horrifying that I couldn't watch enough to figure out what was really going on. Can anyone clarify it for me? (Gently... I'm feeling weirded-out today after that disturbing image...)
