US President Joe Biden has spent a significant amount of time on vacation during his term in office, revealed a recent analysis by the Republican National Committee. According to the data, the 81-year-old has taken 532 vacation days in less than four years, which accounts for approximately 40 per cent of his time in office.
This means that President Biden has accumulated more vacation days in a shorter period than the average American worker would in nearly five decades. The average American receives 11 days of vacation per year, making President Biden’s vacation time equivalent to about 48 years’ worth of vacation days for the average citizen.
Critics argue that the President’s extensive vacation time is inappropriate, especially during a time of global uncertainty and domestic challenges. Mark Paoletta, former general counsel of the White House budget office under President Donald Trump, stated, “The image of Biden fast asleep and lying flat on his back in his chair at the beach while America and the world is on fire will define the Biden presidency,” as per the NY Post.
