Explanation:

The State of the Union is an annual speech from the President of the United States to the members of the Congress about the state of the country. Newly appointed presidents wait a year before giving their first speech. The State of the Union is usually held in January.

The president announces his plans and political objectives for the coming year. The tone of the State of the Union is almost always optimistic and motivating.  

The first speech was in January 1933. Until then, the president had addressed Congress in a written message. The First "Annual Message to the Congress" was written by George Washington in 1790.

Thanks to the arrival of radio, television and social media, the directly broadcast speech now also offers the president the opportunity to address the entire people.
