Once a year, the president of the United States delivers a speech known as the State of the Union. The address is prescribed in Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which states that the leader of our country should “from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”
