Will 22 February 2021 be the last time George Washington's speech will be read in Congress?
It was not read out on 22 February 2022.
https://www.congress.gov/117/crec/2021/02/22/CREC-2021-02-22-senate.pdf records it as being read by Senator Rob Portman on 22 February 2021.
It is an American tradition for Washington's farewell speech to be read on his birthday by a Senator in Congress every year on his birthday 22 February 1732.
https://www.congress.gov/117/crec/2022/02/22/168/34/CREC-2022-02-22-senate.pdf shows that this tradition was broken on 22 February 2022.
Nobody seems to have noticed.
