For the first time in US history, the presidency passed to a woman
US President Joe Biden's medical examination: Vice President Kamala Harris became president for 85 minutes
On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris set another record in American politics when she was given the presidency for the first time in 85 minutes.
The brief but historic move came as President Joe Biden underwent a routine medical check-up in which he was briefly anesthetized for colonoscopy.
Meanwhile, 57-year-old Kamala Harris was given 85 minutes to run for president.
White House Press Secretary Jane Pesky made it clear that the temporary transfer of the presidency was not a trivial matter because the US Constitution provides for such occasions.
He said the same thing happened when former President George W. Bush underwent similar medical examinations in 2002 and 2007.
"President Biden is now fully fit."
When US President Joe Biden returned to the White House after his medical examination, he said he was feeling better.
Joe Biden underwent a medical examination on his 79th birthday and is the youngest president in the United States.
After his colonoscopy, his doctor, Kevin O'Connor, said in a statement that Biden was "perfectly fit" to serve as president.
''President Biden is healthy and strong enough to carry out his duties as president''.
The rise of Kamala Harris in American politics
U.S. officials say Kamala Harris spent her short presidential term in the West Wing of the White House on Friday.
It should be noted that Kamala Harris has already been honored to be elected the first female Vice President of the United States.
Kamala Harris, from the US state of California, is not only the first female vice president, but also the first non-white person to become US vice president due to her parents' ties to Jamaica and India.
''Kamala Harris's mother was born in India while her father was born in Jamaica''.She is a former California attorney general and has been a staunch supporter of police reform during anti-apartheid protests''.
