Correct. If we counted every president medical procedure as a new president we would be well in to the 100s by now. Just off the top of my head Reagan and both Bushes had various procedures that briefly granted VPs presidential power, Kamala was far from the first here, even if she was the first black woman to hold it.
… Andnow I’m vaguely curious if anyone has ever gone back and tallied up this objectively useless number of people who at one point were acting president. 😂
She was acting president during his colonoscopy, that didn’t technically make her the 47th.
