Section 3. 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; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
Yes. The President must deliver to Congress a "State of the Union" periodically.
There is nothing that specifies it must be a speech to Congress. Early in our nation's history, it was often a written report that was submitted. There is no requirement that it be an annual thing. The Constitution is vague and just says the following:
"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"
knows what he is doing, and has the support of Congress.
Power of the purse: congress can limit funding on things like war the president supportsAppointment confirmation: congress has to agree on the appointment of officials by the president.Congress can remove a president that is not doing his/her job.
While technically the President cannot declare war without Congress, under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the President can send troops into combat as long as he informs Congress within 48 hours of doing so . Then he has 60 days and then another 30 days for withdrawal before he has to get Congressional approval or a formal declaration of war. Congress has to approve any additional funds that an undeclared war requires.
As a commander and chief of the armed forces, the president can use the military to intervene or offer assistance in crisis at home and around the world. The president cannot declare war: Only congress holds this power. The president can send troops to all parts of the world for up to 60 days but must notify congress when doing so. The troops may remain longer if congress gives approval or declares war.
The President exists to execute the laws that the legislative branch passes. If the legislative branch chooses not to pass a law that would give the President a power over something he wants, then he does not have that power. If the President does something that is not expresssly forbidden by existing law, Congress can pass a law that does expressly forbid him/her from doing it. If the President wanted a particular type of law passed, like a tax cut, Congress could refuse to do it because only Congress can authorize a tax cut. Also, Congress is the branch that appropriates money to be used by the President to do things. This is called the "power of the purse". If Congress does not give the President the money to do something, then he cannot do it. For example, if the President wanted a one million soldier army at all times but Congress felt that 500,000 soldiers is enough, Congress can control the President's wishes by appropriating only enough money for 500,000 soldiers. The executive branch has the power to do things, but the legislative branch has the power to limit the things he can do.
The Constitution requires it.
the president can veto laws p
The State of the Union. Is an address from the president, usually intended on informing the public of what the leader is doing, such as his own opinion and how he would solve the problems at hand.
The President cannot make a decision by himself - he has to run his ideas through the Congress before anything happens with them. Congress will also make sure that the president is doing his job by often calling meetings that would include the president.

Your terminology is not quite correct. Congress does not veto a veto, it overrides a veto. And the reason for doing so would be that the members of Congress are determined to have their way. If they can muster enough votes, they have the power to put through their legislation, with or without the approval of the President.
To inform Congress and the American public what kind of shape the president feels our country is in and what he feels needs to be done about any problems he believes we have.
