It's true that Joe Biden created a border crisis for America, with impacts that will ripple for years as millions of illegal aliens now are in the country, while in office.

He turned health care on its head by demanding absolute pursuit of abortion and transgender ideologies.

The economy: Inflation was as high as 9.1% under his leadership.

Besides the damage inflicted on America as a whole, he left his own Democrat party in a shambles.

But one member of Congress is liking the idea that he took 40% of his presidency as vacation, wondering just what damage would have happened had he worked those days.

It is the New York Post that reported, "Joe Biden's time as president was truly a sleeper."

The report notes Biden, 82, "took more time off than any other U.S. president in modern history, spending 577 of his 1,463 days in office – or 39% of his presidency — on vacation."

The numbers for Biden, and other presidents, were from the Republican National Committee.

"The average American — who gets 11 paid vacation days a year — would have to work 52 years to rack up as much down time as Biden scored in his four years," the report said.

George H.W. Bush took off 543 days for 37% of his presidency, and George W. Bush took off 1,020 days during two terms, for 35% of his presidency. Donald Trump took off 381 days during his first term, for 26%. Bill Clinton took 345 days for 12% and Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan each took 11%. Jimmy Carter took 5%.

"Considering how awful his misguided policies were and the various crises they created, from the border to inflation, imagine the damage he would have done if he worked every day?" charged Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., "I'm not sure if we should be mad or thankful he worked so little."

While Biden took a jaw-dropping 23 straight days off, Aug. 8, to Sept. 2, he was busy during the last few weeks of his presidency, issuing pardons to thousands, including convicted murderers and rapists and a long list of his own family members.

RNC spokesman Zach Parkinson pointed out that now, Biden is "on a permanent vacation."
