March 4th is a very significant date in U.S. history.

It was the original Presidential inauguration date, with the 20th Amendment changing the inauguration to January 20th in 1933.

So, will March 4th be a day to remember this year?

I have a feeling it might be…

President Trump’s speech is already highly-anticipated.

The address to members of Congress will be Trump’s first since he was sworn in as President for the second time on Jan. 20. Presidents typically address a joint session of Congress soon after they take office and use it as an opportunity to go over their agenda.

Trump began making moves on his agenda quickly after he was sworn in, signing a number of Executive Orders on his first day in office, including one withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization (WHO) and another that aimed to redefine birthright citizenship (the latter has been blocked by multiple judges).

When Trump addressed a joint session of Congress during his first term in 2017, he discussed his plans to revamp the country’s healthcare system and tax code. While Trump’s tax cuts were later enacted, his attempt to end the Affordable Care Act failed.

The Wall Street Journal added:

President Trump is scheduled to deliver a speech before a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, beginning around 9 p.m. ET.

The Wall Street Journal will launch live coverage hours earlier, as well as carry live video of both Trump’s address and the Democratic response that follows shortly after. While technically not called a State of the Union speech—Trump wasn’t in office the prior year—it carries all the appearance and attention of one.

Will you be tuning in?
