I am president….I am tired of giving speeches. Further, thousands of people have written me asking me not to interrupt their fav
orite shows with the State of the Union address. I decide I will not give a State of the Union address as long as I am president. Can I do that? _________________ Where is it addressed?
Article II, Section 3 requires the State of the Union - The President “shall 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.”
As president it is compulsory to give the State of the Union address regularly. This is stipulated in Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, requiring the President to periodically "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."
