On Tuesday night, President Barack Obama will deliver his final State of the Union address in Washington, D.C., before a joint session of Congress. The White House has said that the speech will be "nontraditional," but it has been vague about what that means. Likely topics include taxes, education, health care, immigration and gun control. And the president will follow tradition by having guests join the first lady to watch the address from the viewing gallery. He will also, as dictated by the Constitution, report on the country's overall well-being—the "state of the Union"—which typically involves a one-word summary, usually "strong."

If you want to watch the speech for yourself, here's how:

On Television
