Washington: US President Joe Biden will transfer all his powers as president to Vice President Kamala Harris today. However, Kamala Harris will have these powers and powers for just 85 minutes. A statement issued by the White House said President Joe Biden will take anaesthesia for a medical test. This is a routine check of them. But because of this, he will be under the influence of anaesthesia for about 85 minutes. The name of this test is Colonoscopy. Biden gets a colonoscopy done every year.
Apparently, Biden will not be able to make decisions in an emergency. That is why this rare process of power transfer is being followed. According to the U.S. Constitution, the President can appoint anyone as his acting President for some time. On the other hand, Kamala Harris will be the first female, black and South Asian Vice President to be in the executive role of the President after having all the powers of the President. Kamala Harris will take overall U.S. military powers and important tasks during this 85-minute time.
President Joe Biden is said to be taking over at 11.35 am this morning withdrawing all his powers. Biden is 79 years old on Saturday. Questions keep arising about their health. However, a medical examination last year found him fully fit to take over as president.
