Book Description
Excerpt from Message From the President of the United States to the Two Houses of Congress: December 31, 1855 Fellow-citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: The constitution of the United States provides that Congress shall assemble annually on the first Monday of December, and it has been usual for the President to make no communication of a public charac ter to the Senate and House of Representatives until advised of their readiness to receive it. I have deferred to this usage until the close of the first month of the session, but my convictions of duty will not permit me longer to postpone the discharge of the obligation enjoin ed by the constitution upon the President, to give to the Congress information of the state of the Union, and recommend to their con sideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.
