The State of the Union address

The State of the Union address is an annual speech delivered by the President of the United States to Congress. It outlines the government's achievements over the past year, current priorities, and legislative goals. The address also provides an opportunity for the President to communicate directly with the nation, advocate for policies, and set the tone for upcoming legislative sessions. Delivered in the House chamber, it is a constitutional requirement and a significant moment for national dialogue, often reflecting on economic, social, and foreign policy issues.
