The U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 3 states, in part, "[The President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient..." Throughout the 19th century the Presidents sent the State of the Union to Congress in writing, and it was read by the clerk. Woodrow Wilson revived the practice of delivering the State of the Union orally.
