US President Joe Biden will briefly hand over his powers to Vice President Kamale Harris on Friday. This will happen during a colonoscopy examination, which he will undergo under anesthesia, the White House announced.
“President Biden will hand over power to the vice president for a short time while under anesthesia. During this time, the Vice President will work from her office in the Western Wing (White House). “ White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, quoted by AFP.
This is a standard procedure
The 70-year-old president will undergo the operation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Hospital, located in Maryland, near Washington.
The endoscopic examination of the colon, which is part of a regular comprehensive medical examination, is undergoing the first time since taking office in January this year, writes the AP agency.

He arrived at Biden Hospital by car in the early hours of Washington time. Psaki emphasized that handing over power to the vice president was a standard step in such situations, which took place twice during the reign of former President George W. Bush (2001-2009).
Harris will briefly become incumbent president
Joe Biden is the oldest incumbent president of the United States, and his health condition therefore attracts a lot of attention from the American media and the public.
The act of delegation itself will take place formally in a letter addressed by Biden to the presidents of both chambers of the US Congress.
Harris, who as vice president is the highest-ranking woman in US history, will then briefly become incumbent president. After taking over from anesthesia, Biden sends another letter to the two presidents informing them that he is regaining the presidency, the AP writes.
