What is the name of the address the president gives to Congress about the condition of the country?

The president’s address to Congress regarding the condition of the country is known as the State of the Union Address. This annual tradition, mandated by the U.S. Constitution, requires the president to periodically give Congress information about the state of the nation, as well as outline proposed legislative agendas and priorities. It serves as a significant opportunity for the president to communicate directly with Congress members and, by extension, the American public about key issues facing the nation.

The Inaugural Address, while also a significant speech delivered by the president, occurs at the beginning of their term and focuses on the president's vision and goals for their upcoming administration, rather than providing a current assessment of the nation's condition. The term "Constitutional Address" is not an established term used within the political framework, and "Annual Report" lacks the specific context and significance associated with the State of the Union Address in terms of its role in governance and accountability.
