A stump speech is a short political speech, such as campaigners for public office give.
The phrase goes back hundreds of years. You're going to give a speech, and you've gathered a crowd, but you don't have a proper stage available. So if you're in the city, you climb up on a soap box--and if you're in the country, you climb up on a tree stump!

Why was James K. Polk called Napoleon of the stump?
In 1822 Polk joined the local militia and rose to the rank of Captain, and was soon promoted to Colonel. Polk's oratory became popular, earning him the nickname "Napoleon of the Stump." "Napoleon" is perhaps obvious, but "stump" may be a bit perplexing to non-US (and young US) readers. Campaigning for political office, particularly outside of large cities, is colloquially referred to as "stumping," and a speech given while doing so is called a "stump speech". It apparently comes from the idea that a tree stump is a handy, slightly elevated platform from which to speak, generally available in even the most rural of locations.
What part of speech would stumped be?
Stumped can be both a verb (past tense of "stump") and an adjective, as in "I was stumped by the question."

To prevent and manage stump burn in your yard, you can start by removing any debris around the stump and creating a fire break.

How do you decorate after a stump removal?
A big stump in the middle of your yard probably does not look attractive, but there are several options to consider.
