At the invitation of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, President
Donald J. Trump will address a Joint Session of Congress on February 28,
2017.
In his invitation
to President Trump, Speaker Ryan wrote, "This address will give the
people and their representatives the chance to hear directly from you
about your agenda to tackle the critical challenges we face at home and
abroad."
When a president addresses a Joint Session of Congress, it is often referred to as a State of the Union speech; however, there typically is no State of the Union address by a new president in their first year in office. President John F. Kennedy is the one exception as he delivered a State of the Union address during his first year in office in 1961.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan spoke before a Joint Session about his economic recovery plan. Since then, each newly-elected president has addressed a Joint Session.
