That isn’t something the President doesn’t get to choose though.
They can send a letter, but to show up in Congress and give a speech is the prerogative of Congress.

An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart.
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!”
