President Joe Biden will deliver his third State of the Union address on Thursday.
It’s a tradition that is rooted in the US Constitution, and there have been 98 in-person annual messages since George Washington’s first in 1790.
In 1801, Thomas Jefferson sent written annual messages to the House and Senate, a precedent that lasted more than a century until President Woodrow Wilson brought back the in-person practice 1913.
