When is the State of the Union? (Clinton, Obama, broadcast)

[Werdywerd]

Past Presidents always had it done by February.

Bueller? Bueller?

When Biden and his brain has one of those "good days"... But they are becoming few and far between. We could be waiting well into the fall for the SOTU... For all intents and purposes, Trump delivered an adequate, accurate and informative informal SOTU on Sunday. So perhaps Biden and his handlers will spare America the cringe worthy gaffes and just skip it all together.

OP starts off with a lie. Trump didn't do a state of the union in his first year. In fact most presidents do not.

Geeze, not this again? It must be something being passed around in right-wing media or twitter or something.

Their first year in office, presidents do not do a SOTU address. For example, Trump did not do his first one until January 30, 2018.

Between John Adams and Woodrow Wilson, nobody did an in-person SOTU address at all. That was 113 years.

Presidents don’t give a SOTU during their first year in office.

First SOTU addresses:

Trump- 2018 ( inaugurated 2017)

Obama- 2010 ( inaugurated 2009)

Bush 2- 2002 ( inaugurated 2001)

Clinton- 1994 ( inaugurated 1993)

Etc

This must not be one of your “ good days” otherwise you might have recalled presidents don’t give a SOTU address during their first year in office.

Woodron Wilson's presidential term ended in 1921. The first radio US commercial radio broadcasting licenses were granted in 1920. Television audiences came decades later.


There was no reason to deliver an in-person SOTU address before 1920 as the audience would have been limited to those in the Capitol chambers.

The crap continues to circle on social media.

People tend to believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions.
