- US President Joe Biden has been declared fit to resume his White House duties.
- This is done after extensive routine medical examinations.
- During that time, his power was briefly transferred to Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Friday, President Joe Biden received a health certificate from a White House doctor after undergoing extensive routine examinations. During this period, his power was briefly transferred to Vice President Kamala Harris.
White House doctor Kevin O’Connor wrote:
The President is still a healthy and energetic 78-year-old man who is suitable to successfully perform the duties of the President, including the Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander-in-Chief.
The detailed report stated that Biden’s walking was indeed “significantly stiffer and less fluid” than a year ago, and “the frequency and severity of’clearing the throat’ and coughing in public speeches are increasing.”
However, O’Connor’s letter stated that these two symptoms were not considered urgent problems and did not appear to be caused by serious conditions.
In a series of tests, Biden scored high.
He has “no signs of heart failure”, “no dental problems”, no “suspicion of skin cancer”, and his eye health is “reassuring”.
One reason for this reliable report may be that the doctor discovered that “the President does not use any tobacco products, does not drink alcohol, and he exercises at least five days a week.”
The letter revealed that Biden will turn 79 on Saturday and is the oldest president in American history. He takes three common prescription drugs and two over-the-counter drugs, and wears contact lenses.
He is 5 feet 1.82 meters tall, weighs 83.46 kg, and has a body mass index of 25.
Earlier, a smiling Biden returned to the White House after being examined at Walter Reed Hospital and said “I feel great.”
“We are in great shape,” he said, wearing his signature aviator sunglasses.
Historic 1.25 hours
Although the President’s annual visit to Walter Reed Hospital is a routine matter, Biden’s request to transfer power while calming down during colonoscopy has made history.
In 1 hour and 25 minutes, Harris became the first woman in the United States to hold presidential power. She is already the first female vice president.
The White House Press Office stated that an official letter to Congress was sent at 10:10 announcing the temporary transfer of power. The White House said in a statement: “The president resumed his duties at 11:35.”
Press Secretary Jen Psaki said:
Today, for many women and young girls across the country, this is another chapter in history.
-Paki said this noticed Harris’ pioneering role.
Harris failed to run for the 2020 Democratic nomination before being selected as Biden’s running mate. Psaki said that while serving as the interim presidential reins, she continued to “work in her office in the West Wing.”
Psaki pointed out that a similar temporary transfer of power was carried out “in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Constitution” when President George W. Bush went through the same procedures in 2002 and 2007.
Given the speculation about whether Biden will stick to his stated intention of seeking a second term in 2024, details about Biden’s health are being closely watched.
Key moments for the presidency
The positive medical evaluation reflects a letter from Dr. Biden during the December 2019 campaign when he was described as “a healthy and energetic 77-year-old man suitable for the successful fulfillment of presidential duties.”
He was vaccinated against Covid-19 very early and received a booster injection in September.
The health check was conducted at a critical moment during his presidency, and the House of Representatives voted to submit Biden’s huge “rebuild better” social spending agenda to the Senate for approval.
Earlier this week, Biden signed another package to fund the nation’s largest infrastructure transformation in more than half a century.
After Biden’s approval ratings fell for weeks and his Democrats suffered setbacks before next year’s midterm elections, it is widely expected that the Republican Party will control at least the House of Commons, thus winning these two victories.
