On Wednesday evening (April 28), President Joe Biden gave his first address to Congress to mark his first 100 days in office as President of the United States.
As President Biden took to the podium, he started off his address by pointing out the historic moment the session held.
Sitting behind him on the dais was Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. This was the first time in U.S. history that two women sat behind the President during an address to Congress.
“Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President. No president has ever said those words from this podium. And it’s about time!” President Biden exclaimed as the room erupted in applause.
VP Harris and Speaker Pelosi celebrated the moment by bumping elbows and applauding each other.
Speaker Pelosi made history back in 2007 when she became the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Last November, VP Harris made history becoming the first woman and first person of color to be elected Vice President.
If you missed it, VP Harris will be the first Vice President to receive this very special honor.
FYI: Vice President Harris is wearing a Prabal Gurung outfit.
Applause rings out as Pres. Biden addresses "Madam Vice President."

Democrats of Congress have formally introduced articles of impeachment for President Donald Trump, following the riots that broke out last week and sent many representatives into a lockdown situation.
The Democrats state in the papers filed that they are charging Trump with “incitement of insurrection”.
The full document, that is broken down on CNN, turns to the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states that any person who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the United States be barred from holding office.
“This impeachment charge is meant to defend the integrity of the republic,” Rhode Island Democrat David Cicilline wrote in an op-ed for the New York Times. “Both Democratic and Republican members of Congress must attend to the duties of their oath. Failing to act would set an irresponsibly dangerous precedent for future presidents who are about to leave office.”
He continued: “Further, there can be no healing of the divisions in our country without justice for the man most responsible for this horrific insurrection. The president must be held accountable.”
However, House Republicans are wary of the move, stating that impeachment could cause Trump to increase his division in the country.
Trump was impeached last year by the House for abuse of power, however, the Senate acquitted him.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi made the announcement over the weekend that the House would seek to impeach Trump unless the 25th Amendment was invoked, which would call on Vice President Mike Pence to remove Trump from office.
If you didn’t see, the Capitol riot could turn into a super spreader COVID-19 event. Here’s why…

“Sadly, the person who is running the Executive Branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the United States, and only a number of days until we can be protected from him. But he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him,” she explained.
“Nothing is off the table,” she added of the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment.
“He can only pardon himself from federal offenses, he cannot pardon himself form state offenses and that’s where he is being investigated, in the state of New York,” she added.
She also discussed why there is support for impeachment, which would restrict him from being able to run again in 2024.
:That’s one of the motivations that people have for advocating for impeachment…well I like the 25th Amendment because it gets rid of him, he’s out of the office. But there is strong support in the Congress for impeaching the president a second time.”
Trump was recently banned from social media platforms for provoking violence at the U.S. Capitol, and tried to log on from some different accounts.
