President Biden received a clean bill of health on Thursday after completing his long-delayed annual physical.
The president’s physician, Dr. Kevin C. O’Connor, said Mr. Biden, 80, “remains fit for duty, and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations,” in a memo summarizing his current health.
“President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief,” the memo reads.
Mr. Biden completed a three-hour session with his doctors earlier Thursday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. It was his second physical exam since taking office in January 2021 for the nation’s oldest president.
Dr. O’Connor wrote that the most notable “interval history” since his last physical was Mr. Biden’s multiple bouts with COVID-19 over the summer, but he noted that the president has “not experienced any residual symptoms which may be considered ‘Long Covid.’”
Doctors did remove a “small” lesion from the president’s chest and sent the sample for a biopsy.
