EACH YEAR, the standing president of the United States delivers a State of the Union Address.
The tradition dates back to the days of George Washington.
Joe Biden is set to deliver the 2022 State of the Union on March 1, 2022
What is the State of the Union?
The State of the Union Address (SOTU) is an annual speech delivered by the president to Congress near the beginning of each year.
Things covered by the SOTU include budget, economy, breaking news, annual agenda, achievements, legislative proposals, and the president’s current priorities.
In the United States Constitution, a clause states the president must “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.”
Although the address used to be done by paper, former President Woodrow Wilson introduced the regular practice of an in-person discussion.
