That means I spent 3.7 days on vacation every 10 days.
2nd largest after George W. Bush
Republican Party: “He is not carrying out his duties as president properly”
Trump ranks last in all-time presidential rankings
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 18th that a survey showed that U.S. President Joe Biden was the U.S. president who took the second most vacations during his first three years in office.
According to Mark Knoller, a former CBS reporter who has been collecting schedule data on sitting presidents for 30 years, President Biden, who took office in January 2021, has taken a total of 408 days of vacation, including weekends, to date. He spent 3.7 days on vacation out of 10 days. About 250 of these days were spent in Delaware, near the capital, Washington, where both his home and vacation home were located.
The only former president to take more vacation than President Biden in his first three years in office was former President George W. Bush, who took 478 days of vacation. Former President Donald Trump, who was criticized for his frequent golf trips, took 291 days of vacation, and former President Barack Obama took 135 days of vacation.
Analysis suggests that the reason President Biden has so many vacation days is because he goes to Delaware every Friday afternoon after completing his schedule and returns to the White House on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning. He is known to be frustrated with the White House, and immediately after taking office, he said of his life in the White House, “It’s like a golden cage.”
The opposition Republican Party is criticizing the president’s long absence from the White House, saying, “He is unable to properly carry out his duties as president due to his advanced age.” However, the White House refuted that President Biden has continued to work in Delaware, receiving reports from his staff on a regular basis.
Meanwhile, in celebration of Presidents’ Day (19th), faculty at the University of Houston and Coastal Carolina University evaluated the greatness of 45 U.S. presidents among 154 historians, and President Biden ranked 14th with 62.66 points. occupied. Former President Trump, who always attacks President Biden as “the worst president ever,” was last with 10.92 points. However, in a survey targeting only Republican-leaning historians, President Biden ranked 30th and former President Trump ranked 41st. Former President Trump also ranked first in the ‘most divisive president’ category.
The person selected by scholars as the greatest president was former President Abraham Lincoln, who received 93.87 points. Former Presidents Franklin Roosevelt (90.83 points) and George Washington (90.32 points) followed.
