The address given by the president to Congress is known as the State of the Union address. It is delivered annually and is used to update Congress and the American public on the current state of the nation, as well as to outline the president's legislative agenda and priorities.
Joe Biden the Vice President, and John Boehner (pronounced BAY-ner), the Speaker of the House of Representatives, sat behind President Obama at the State of Union Address in 2011 and also in 2012 and 2013.
