Article 2 Section 3 Clause 1 of the US Constitution states "He 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;". The State of the Union speech satisfies this duty by tradition; however, the President does not have to give an actual speech. He may simply deliver a written document to the Congress describing his views on the State of the Union. This was last done by Jimmy Carter for his final State of the Union in 1981 shortly before he left office.
Carter's final State of the Union has become known as the, "I ain't talking to them a$$holes" speech.
