Joe Biden has spent a total of 532 days—and counting—on holiday since he became president, or over 40% of his term.
To put that in perspective, Paul Bedard at The Washington Examiner compared the President’s holiday tally with the amount of annual leave the average American gets.

According to Expedia’s Annual Vacation Deprivation Report, the average American gets 12 paid days of vacation a year—but only takes 11. What’s more, American are nearly twice as likely to go a year or more between vacations when compared to figures from overseas.
By comparison, over the last three years, Joe Biden has taken off 523 days, or the equivalent of 48.3 years’ worth of holidays for the average American.
Which begs the question: Who has actually been running the country?
