Speaker Johnson to display George Washington's gavel
House Speaker Mike Johnson will display George Washington's gavel during the State of the Union address, according to his office and the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.
The gavel, which was first used in 1793 by Washington to lay the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol building, "beautifully reflects the importance of preserving and sharing the Capitol's history," Roswell Encina, president and CEO of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, said in a statement.
