Did you know that Dick Cheney and Kamala Harris were both presidents?
Well, technically they were “acting presidents.” An acting president is someone who carries out the powers and duties of the American President even though that person actually doesn’t hold the office, and both Cheney and Harris did this because the Constitution says Vice Presidents are first in line to serve as acting president. For 85 minutes on November 19, 2021, Harris became the first woman with presidential power when President Joe Biden was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy.
Cheney was acting president twice, also during colonoscopies.
On both June 29, 2002 and July 21, 2008, Cheney served as acting President when President George W. Bush was also under anesthesia for colonoscopies.
The only other time in American history when a Vice President served as acting president was when George H.W. Bush filled in for President Ronald Reagan when he had colon cancer surgery on July 13, 1985.
Colons. It's all about the colons.
Yes, colons mr beat
The number one threat to the presidency
Man I love colons their just great... so great
The colons are a cover. Put polyps in the press and suddenly everyone forgets that these people are reptilian.
edit: I cooked this one up in my own brain, Mr. Beat! Just wanted to give you a giggle, Mr. Beat!
:
Imagine doing surgery on a president.
"Don't fuck it up Don't fuck it up Don't fuck it up"
Probably at least 10 surgeons present at a time 😂
Look at what happened to gorge pell
Meanwhile all of America is cheering for you to fuck it up
That's why when the went to put Reagan under when he was shot, he said to the surgical team, "I hope some of you are Republicans." At some point during the surgery, one of the doctors had to hold the President's beating heart in his hands and lift it out so they could get to a bullet. Imagine that. I once saw an interview w/the guy. The incredulity of the situation was not lost on him.
.
Not nearly as bad as in dictatorships. Imagine how North Korean and Russian surgeons feel.
The 25th Amendment may as well be called the colonoscopy amendment.
😄
You noticed that pattern too, did you?
Maybe a healthy colon should be among the qualifications to hold the office.
@@richardlepreux8489 You don't need to have anything wrong to get a colonoscopy, it's a checkup and, if necessary, treatment in one.
@@richardlepreux8489 colonoscopy checks are routine
Spock: Remember during my Academy days learning about how a Vice President can become The President during a colonoscopy.
Dr. McCoy: That's using the backdoor to The Presidency.
Spock: We Vulcans feel your pain.
I read somewhere that Cheney enjoyed his brief role as acting president because he used the time to relax and take a break from the rigors of being Vice President.
@@williamg8269 On a serious note he actually enjoyed it so much and thought it was so cool that the second time it happened he had a letter drafted and sent out to a relative so that he could make sure the signature on it said "Acting President"
Imagine he declared war on cuba just before bush woke up.
Let’s not pretend those are the only times Cheney acted like he was President 😂
Elite comment
... and let's not forget Alexander Haig, Secretary of State under Reagan. He was the first person to think he was "in control" but actually wasn't!
Lmao, history major here and i get your joke in detail. This dude can be called the de facto president during Bush Jr administration, and during the administration of his father too. *Panama invasion* and *Iraq War* intensifies.
Ig Kamala was not only the first woman of colour but also the first woman as a whole to hold presidential power in the US, which is definitely bigger news than "A different old white guy is in charge for a bit" lol.
@@JohnnyAngel8 chill I just replied to the wrong comment
The first woman with presidential power was miss Wilson. Just not officially.
Yep
It has to be official or it's not official.
I heard that Bush was allowed to be president for a couple hours while Cheney was under anesthesia.
😂
:)))
Well when you have a dick and a bush you know that someone is going to be fucked
@@justinmarston4106 and yet somehow it was trumps deregulation that broke the banks again hahaha
@@angelcabeza6464 actually it wasn't they did all the checks and they new the bank was gonna fail months before it did but nobody cared. But keep preaching orange man bad it's funny.
Worth noting: Donald Trump stubbornly took colonoscopy without anesthesia in order to prevent Pence from being active president.
Ouch
@@tylerkochman1007 If a president cannot trust their VP that should raise some serious questions on the paranoia of the president.
@@wishbones170 totally agreed
@@tylerkochman1007 well that's BS, Trump is still too full of poop to ever had a colonoscopy
That poor endoscopy staff
Good, Pence ended up being not trustworthy anyways
Sounds like a real pain in the butt.
Especially a real pain in the large intestine. 😄
Hahaha
That's one thing that they all have in common
Speaking from experience, you don't actually feel a thing.
The bad part is when you have to drink that foul tasting liquid beforehand to "clean out your guts" and you're on the toilet for hours.
According to my mom, my dad was so nervous for his colonoscopy that he had to take Xanax to lower his blood pressure
Vice President: Man, I really wish I could have the powers of the president, just for a little bit.
The colon:
Let’s be honest. The real first woman with powers of the president was Edith Wilson
And she wasn't even Vice President
Mr Bombastic 😎
It’s a fun story but she wasn’t any better of a President than Woodrow Wilson, who did a terrible job
She didn’t have official presidential powers.
All first ladies had power, it's called being hot 🥵
I'm blown away, Mr. Beat, by your ability to be so calm and civil when talking about some of the worst people in the world
Cheney was really acting president for 8 years.
Good point 😄
Indeed
From his secure, undisclosed location.
Worst in my lifetime
@@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295I'm glad you feel that way.
That way about Trump/ Pence not being the worst in your lifetime.
But I'm wondering if you forgot about Joe Biden/Kamala Harris
I'm old enough to remember when Cheney was president for 8 years.. dark times
So HW wasn’t acting president when Reagan was being treated for gunshot wounds?
The situation was unclear. Al Haig said "I am in charge here" because he could not get in touch with GHW Bush. I think Haig was just saying he represented the executive branch, not that he had priority over Bush 41 or Speaker Tip O'Neal.
Bush was on a plane back to the US most of that time while Reagan was in surgery and impossible to reach.
Bush was probably burying the second shooter 😅
Technically he was, but like in the other surgeries it was for a too short time to really carry out any presidential action.
George Bush Sr wasn't acting potus because he's flying to Texas for a homecoming visit since he's vice potus.
First woman to officially hold presidential power. Edith Wilson unofficially did while Woodrow was ill.
Our butts are a wild weakness 😅
LOL
Oh, but it's the tip of the iceberg. We're lucky not to have gotten an invocation of the 25th amendment due to the spine, gallbladder, or prostate.
It's like the death star exhaust port.
We Chordates, like Echinoderms, and Hemichordate worms, develop our anus before our mouths. The chordate anus develops out of the embryonic blastopore, the first stage of cell folding and differentiation. In other phyla, this becomes the mouth.
Well they are full of toxic and infectious waste
Imagine if Colon Powell was elected president and had a colonoscopy
Wasnt dick cheney president between 2001-2009?
Dick Cheney made money off the Iraq War
@@Dsworddance22 how?
I'm uninformed
lol
He had large holdings in a company (Halliburton) that directly profited from the Iraq War.
@@iammrbeat thanks
Edith Wilson was the first woman with presidential power after Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke in 1919. And it was much longer than 85 minutes, it was for over 1 year.
Cheney looks like a supervillain, sorry had to get that out my system
yeah I think the same
He really does
@@iammrbeat of course
That's because you watch too much netflix and tv where the evil guy is always the straight white male
Just a villain - nothing super about that man.
Cheney was only acting president twice? It felt like 8 years
Even presidential historians say Cheney was in charge until late 2007, by then Bush even caught on and had nothing to lose. W only wanted the job to get approval from the old man.
Colon health is important
Avoid fast food, kids.
I thought Cheney served as acting President from January 20th, 2001 to January 20th, 2009 lol
So, what I'm hearing is that 3 people were temporarily granted the most powerful job in the world, all because of colons
Priceless
@@stephenschiffman5940 assholes always grant people power
Hopefully she’ll get four more years of that job
I remember the day Kamala Harris was. I didn't know Cheney was.
Cheney probably wished he had that authority more than a few hours for a couple days.
Ig Kamala was not only the first woman of colour but also the first woman as a whole to hold presidential power in the US, which is definitely bigger news than "A different old white guy is in charge for a bit" lol.
Cheney sent a little letter to his grandkids to tell them that he was president, which is so lovely 🥺
(Even though he's the man responsible for the Afghanistan war, and he literally shot someone in the face, let's ignore that)
@AnnoyingAllie huh for the second part of the second part . Did he go to Afghanistan and shoot a taliban member in the face?
@@bathamsteryt No, he shot a random guy in the face, the Afghanistan war was his idea, and ig one day he decided to shoot someone in the face..
If the pattern checks out, being president is a real pain in the ass.
Edith Wilson moment
That's another video. :)
@@iammrbeat based
Well, I think this may have been merely a trial run for Harris.
I did not know that. Besides Darth Chaney is controversially disliked by most people
Darth Chaney lol
So is Darth Harris
Yeah his profits from war are just about as questionable as Nancy Pelosi’s stock returns
Don't use sith terms for them their is so much more to a sith then being evil
@@rcdune7132well let's hope she doesn't win
So basically, like when you were a kid and your mom left you alone with the dog to go the grocery store and tells you you’re in charge til she gets back 😂
I remember the day Regan was shot it seemed nobody knew who was in charge. (It was my 29th birthday)
That day was my mom's 14th birthday.
@@leahryan5560 It was my wife's 14th birthday too and a little before my 14th too.
@@Bacopa68
It was my 14th hour of life!
That’s kinda what I was thinking…
Bush didn’t step in when he was shot, but did for colon surgery?
Odd…
Today is my 29th birthday.
So moral of the story, working as president is a pain in the ass job!
Hypothetically, can the Vice President do a coup on a sitting president during a colonoscopy?
They could try lol
I don't think the President would be sitting during a colonoscopy
The 25th Amendment actually does let the vice president take over if the president is found to be unable to perform their duties, all it takes is a vote by cabinet members but it's never so much have been attempted yet. There was some talk of doing it while Trump was in office.
Well Harris did try and she can't win if she does we all lose
@@Darth-vade123 your mom can't win... my heart. Though it doesn't stop her from sending me love letters.
It seems like that should have happened more often. Health is important
First women with presidential power was Wilsons wife.
Agreed.
"First woman with official presidential power" might be better
@@watching7721 Definitely.
De facto, but no de jure, as this was well before the 25th Amendment
Yeah I heard from Doctor Mike's video on what killed every president that Wilson suffered a stroke in 1919, but his inner circle kept his health a secret. And his wife, Edith made several executive decisions in his place.
chester arthur was basically acting president for a couple months when james garfield was trying to recover from the gunshot
Thanos 🤝 American Presidents
Their poop-shoots being their Achilles’ heel
No more colonoscopies until I'm Vice-President!
I'd vote for you mach
When are we getting a tier list of acting presidents Mr Beat?
lol That will be a quick stream
wasn't there some sort of controversy when the 45th president went to Walter Reed, and was so untrusting of his own VP that he didn't want to concede acting powers? either that or his ego wouldn't allow it
If you had counted these two and ms Wilson you would have had a nice 48 for your bracket. 48 is a near 0ower of two. It would have made a very nice bracket.
Welp, another missed opportunity!
I think the fact that this has happened three times shows how old our presidents are.
Who was the best acting president ever?
Now that....is....uh....a good question
@@iammrbeat Thanks!
Harrison Ford
@@clangauss4155 I think you can? In settings for your google account you can find your RUclips replies and delete them
Joe Biden
How to become president:
Step 1 become vice president
Step 2. Wait for the president to get a colonoscopy
What about the time Reagan was under surgery because he got shot?
Unbelievably, nope. He stayed President.
@@iammrbeat wow
Thanks for this videos you have made my days so much fun and better
I remember Alexander Haig went on TV and said he was in charge, Everybody laughed at him , but a friend of mine said: "I'm glad someone is stepping up."
Bush was on a plane returning to the US for most of the period Reagan was in surgery and it was 1981, he couldn't run the country from a plane.
@@patrickcrowley9523 Funny too because he said that pretty much immediately afterwards if I remember correctly, like within seconds of Reagan getting shot. That's pretty bad...
Now Cheney endorsed Harris.
Also didn’t Cheney write a letter and signed it as President or acting President Cheney?
I don't know, but that sounds believable to me.
Dick was acting president when Bush had a pain in the butt.
The fact they are all Colon related is very funny 🤣
Interesting facts
But T***** would not allow Pence the opportunity while he was incapacitated
Can't it be argued that Edith Wilson was the first woman with Presidential power, even if it wasn't official
Yeah lol (Also hi)
Some have said that Dick Cheney was president the whole time.😂
Wasn't Edith Wilson the first woman to be acting President?
That was long before the 25th Amendment, so even though she was a de facto "Acting President," she wasn't a de jure one.
This is so crazy now that Kamala Harris is going to actually be president
@@RealDonaldDrumpf make sure to vote so it actually happens, don't think Trump will definitely lose.
@@RealDonaldDrumpf the country won’t last very long then
@@NBKDoku the only way our democracy can last is if we have a strong leader who promises to never have another election!
Don’t get too cocky…
"Acting [President]!"
-Master Thespian
Wouldn't Cheney also be acting president on 9/11, since Bush was on Air Force One while Cheney was in some command center in the White House?
This reminds me of that guy who might have been president for a day
Atchison, and nope he wasn't! :)
Oh Ok thank you
On that one day, actually no one was president because no one had been sworn in, and everyone's terms had expired the day before.
Has nobody heard the claim of secretary Atchison being temporarily sworn in while Truman was out of the country at the time FDR passed?
Wait so if something hit the fan, does the acting President have the authority to launch military strikes?
Yep 😳
yes
One of the very reasons the acting presidency is a thing is to ensure that someone always has nuclear command.
The president has to give consent to the acting president by law.
RUclips recommending this after Cheney endorsed Harris 😭
Austrian rulers: Habsburg Jaw
British rulers: Hemophilia
American rulers: Butt Issues
Every country's got their problems
This might be official records, but we all know Woodrow Wilson's wife was running the show at the end of his presidency
Dick Cheney was the most powerful and effective Vice President in American history. He was also an effective Secretary of Defense under George H. W. Bush. But Cheney was effective at being horrible during his tenure as Vice President, while he was good as Secretary of Defense, especially during the Gulf War.
The Gulf War was another oil grab that Cheney directly profited from with Haliburton. Another unnecessary "war"
During this time Cheney took the opportunity to write his grandkids and sign the letter: "the president".
BTW, the beard looks great!
Hope she becomes president for real. 🙏🙏🙏
Dick cheney was president from 2001 to 2009 to be honest with george w bush as his VP 😂😂
I was exactly two months old when Cheney served as acting president the first time
These Cheney comments are unmatched
Harris was the SECOND woman with presidential power, after Edith Wilson.
the first female acting president was Edith Wilson. When Woodrow Wilson had a stroke in office, his wife was the only one who could go to his bedside. if Wilson needed to make a decision everything went through his wife. eho was basically calling the shots until he left office
not officially but it did happen. and his VP would be in power, She was not an elected official
Imagine your colon being responsivle for such a massively historical event
WE HAD A WOMAN PRESIDENT?!?!?!?! HELL YEAHHHHHHHHH MURICA WOOOHOOO
#merica
Yea but it was Kamala Harris so fuck that
Everybody forgets about Edith Wilson filling in for Woodrow
What a pain in the ass!
They also both held the title of President, because in the senate the VP is the President of the Senate and is referred to as such
I'm sure the evil cackler was hoping he didn't make it out of anesthesia.
If I had a nickel for every time a VP had to step up and be the Acting President for their president having a colon operation, I would have four nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened four times.
Why dose Dick look like a supervillain?
Because he is?
@@iammrbeat He didn't even try to hide it 🤷♂️.
By seeing how recent all of these are, you can tell American politicians get older over time
It wouldve been sooo funny if Camelia went to war in the 85 minutes
That look on Cheney’s face in that picture with Bush is not one you want to see when colonoscopies are being discussed.
One is a war criminal, one is a moron. Scary to have them in charge at ANY time.
"President Harris," is making more sense now.
Colons are truly the ultimate invoker of the 25th amendment
Brings new meaning to the phrase 'take this job and shove it'.
Anyone here after Cheney endorsed Harris?
Who was the only president to not involve our country in wars and also decline the salary to be president?
I wouldn’t want either one of them to be president
And they will both have had presidential power in a couple different ways as well.
Why is it such a big thing a president is anesthetized, but not when he is asleep?
Bcause every president sleeps. Quite often infact. It’s almost like that’s a basic biological function of the human body.
Because an aide or alarm can wake up a sleeping person, but the one anaesthetized one will not be making any decisions for e.g. 6 hours no matter what you do.
I would make an argument for Edith Wilson being the first female president. She basically ran the executive branch, while Woodrow Wilson was bedridden.
It is a nightmare to have either of those two as president
We fr got the first female U.S president before we got GTA 6.
This says something about how old our presidents are
Apush student here. Would Edith Wilson count as Woodrow Wilson was so sick, or was he not under the technicality for her to receive the honor?
In all cases, their colon troubles and colon cancer were caused by meat consumption
I wonder why all these presidents had colon problems.
