Kamala Harris made history again. This time, being called Madam President.
Vice President Kamala Harris was sworn in on Friday to fulfill the role of commander-in-chief while President Joe Biden underwent a colonoscopy.
Kamala Harris makes history
The transfer was for one hour and 25 minutes, according to the White House.
Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, arrived Friday morning at Walter Reed Medical Center to undergo his first routine annual physical since taking office.
It’s routine for a vice president to assume presidential powers while the president undergoes a medical procedure that requires anesthesia.
Then-Vice President Dick Cheney did so on multiple occasions when then-President George W. Bush underwent routine colonoscopies.
However, the United States has never had a woman president, making Harris’ stint as temporary commander-in-chief historic.
Public Service
President Biden selected Kamala Harris to serve as vice president following her decades of public service.
Harris served as San Francisco’s district attorney, California’s attorney general, and in the U.S. Senate.
A graduate of Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of Law, and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Harris became the first woman and first person of color to serve as vice president.
