List of In-Person Annual Message and State of the Union Addresses
/tiles/non-collection/2/2005_047_000.xml
Collection of the U.S. House of Representatives About this object This pass admitted the bearer to one of President Woodrow Wilson's four addresses to a Joint Session in 1913.
In 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt's address was read to a Joint Session of the House and Senate. Since the President did not deliver the address, it does not count as an in-person address. The address was formally known as the Annual Message from 1790 to 1946. Since 1947, it has officially been known as the State of the Union Address.
President Thomas Jefferson began the practice of sending separate, written Annual Messages to the House and Senate, instead of an in-person address, in 1801. This remained the practice of Presidents until Woodrow Wilson revived in-person delivery before a Joint Session of Congress in 1913.
