WASHINGTON (REUTERS) — President Joe Biden will transfer power briefly to Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday while he is under anesthesia for a routine colonoscopy, making her the first woman to hold presidential power in U.S. history.

Biden, a Democrat, is undergoing his annual physical at the Walter Reed military hospital outside of Washington.

Harris is the first woman to serve as vice president of the United States; no woman has ever been president in the country’s nearly 250-year history.

“Following the process set out in the Constitution, President Biden will transfer power to the Vice President for the brief period of time when he is under anesthesia,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement.

“The Vice President will work from her office in the West Wing during this time,” Psaki said.

Biden arrived at Walter Reed just before 9 a.m. (1400 GMT) on Friday; Harris is expected to depart for Ohio, where she’s promoting the infrastructure bill, in the early afternoon.

Presidential power has been transferred to the vice president before, when President George W. Bush had colonoscopies in 2002 and 2007.

Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, is the oldest person to take office as U.S. president, leading to high interest in his health and well-being. Although speculation has persisted about whether he will run for re-election in 2024, he has said he expects to seek a second four-year term.

Biden has pledged to be more transparent about his health than predecessor Donald Trump. The Republican visited Walter Reed in 2019 for an undisclosed reason that a former press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, later revealed was for a colonoscopy. Trump once had his doctor brief the press about the president’s health after questions were raised about his mental acuity.

Psaki said the White House would release a public summary of Biden’s physical later on Friday.

    “Biden to temporarily transfer presidential reins to Harris as he undergoes colonoscopy”

    US politicians often come and lecture Africans to be to be electing young leaders, but what they come and preach others, is the exact opposite of what they do back home. That is called ‘hypocrisy’ it is a dangerous virtue that ‘enrages and causes violence’.

    Mr. Joe Bidden seems to be an honest guy, however he has been in Washington all his adult lives, probably though, the American people elected him because they were ‘put off’ by Mr. Donald Trump antics or probably the American people didn’t other choices, and thus, they went for old Joe Bidden they have always know——the chose the devil you know, than the devil don’t know in other words.

    And of course, their old Joe Bidden, knows how Washington works. I for one, I have never been a fan of the US establishment, however, there are millions of innocents who don’t have anything to do with ‘the messes their establishments have cause around the world’ those innocent Americans are just the victims of US establishments as well, I guess.

    Most Americans don’t know their country is long since been over taken by ‘big corporations, multinationals, special interests or lobbyists, secret societies and other sinister cliques’. Most of the US so-called ‘founding fathers were all secret societies’ members’.

    The elections they do every 4 years cycle in the US is just ‘a veneer’. It doesn’t matter who is elected. *The big corporations, multinationals, special interests or lobbyists, secret societies and other sinister cliques, are the one who calls the shots in Washington, pentagon and Wall street. The so-called campaign contributors in the US——are the big corporations, multinationals, special interests or lobbyists, secret societies and other sinister cliques. They (big corporations, multinationals, special interests or lobbyists, secret societies and other sinister cliques) always go and sit down with both houses of ‘congress and senate’ and told them, matter-of-fact, they were not going anything to anything in anything in *congress, senate, pentagon and wall street*

    *And that take a special oath, zip up your mouth up and follow Wall street s or lobbyists, secret societies, pentagon, and other sinister cliques or else you would be ‘exterminated’——killed* Mr. John F. Kennedy was ‘exterminated’ by *the secret society of Jesuits—–own CIA* for poking his ‘neck out and denounced the Jesuits society dirty intrigues’. Oh yeah!! The Jesuits society’s criminals are the ones who called the shots in the US. They are *the CIA—assassins, FBI, the US so-called army, Hollywood, USAID, NSA and others*

    Every human beings has to have to ‘a privacy’ if you don’t have ‘a privacy, then you are just just ‘commodity to be ‘bought and sold at whim——like some some kind of (010101——-)’. The reasons why as to why as ‘I bothered to investigate how evil the US is, was when, I went and studied in Canada, in Montreal. I was approached by some secret society criminals, to join their club, I politely told them no, they bullied me however bullied me, but I ignored the evils. When I went and studied at the University of NSW, Sydney, Australia. The evil went bullied and me again to join, their club. I politely again turned the evils offer. They came and followed here in my home state of Jonglei and and Upper Nile, I killed two of them, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. I don’t owe a dime to secret societies, Canadians, Australians or Americans. They only attach themselves *like leeches or ticks* to people or countries, who don’t consider them anything. The evil white Americans, white English people, their evil juus (so-called Israelis) attack dogs, gulf Arab states low lives, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans, their UN, their sleazy NGOs and evil secret societies mantra is: “we are in this together”!!? Says who? Mrs. Hillary Clinton, a prostitute, was brought to South Sudan by her *secret societies piece of rubbish, and came and lectured out that ‘we just to take a little bit had in South Sudan, while she and his evil evil, US states department (council for foreign relation—–CIA), were the ones who ‘sponsored the 15/12/2013’ in Juba, with their secret society criminal of Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, then former United Nations missions in South Sudan (UNMISS), Susan Rice, Susan Paige, former Abesh (so-called ethiopian) prime minister piece of trash, Mr. Hailemariam Desalegn. Former prime minister of evil juus (so-called israel) attack dogs. We are the ancient Egyptians, *white people and their cheap and dirty intrigues* has been challenged, they are not going to survive bombings, if the evils survives bombings, then we will give them keys and and we will be their slaves. South Sudan and South Sudanese people are what the vermins/parasites/viruses ‘project their evil lenses 24/7. And that is precisely because South Sudan is where the money is and the bombs that will destroy the vermins/parasites/viruses OUT OF MAP ONCE and for all, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.>>>>
