A new study of the schedule of former President Joe Biden has revealed that he apparently took 577 vacation days during his four years, which would break the record of a supreme commander the most.
The Republican National Committee published a report that described that Biden spent 40 percent of his presidency on vacation and broke the record of George W. Bush, who had spent nearly 37 percent of his term of office taking days off.
The report also included statistics about former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.
Carter was revealed that he had taken the least free time and had only spent 5.4 percent of his days on vacation. Obama spent 11.2 percent of his term of office to take free, while Clinton was a total of 11.8 percent.
Trump's first term was 26%, HW Bush took 34.9 percent of his days as president, while Reagan was on holiday only about 11.5 percent of the time.
The RNC initially placed the data at the beginning of 2024, but details obtained by the New York Post discovered that Biden took 43 out of 70 days between his decision to suspend his re -election campaign and the end of its first term.
The data supports claims of the critics of Biden that his age affected his ability to lead.
Concern about the mental fitness of the former president eventually resulted in his withdrawal from the 2024 elections.

Republicans have often called Biden 'Sleepy Joe', and his critics have yielded insults to the former president because they are old and lazy.
Despite Biden's own admission during his campaign that he had to stop over-planned himself, there is some doubt about the statistics that the RNC has shared.
A study by Snopes shared that the data of the RNC counts 'partial days' as full vacation days and included locations that Biden worked.
The publication mentioned September 3, 2021, as a wrong vacation day. The RNC claimed that he was on vacation, but his public calendar stated that he was in Louisiana to tackle the efforts of hurricane help.
The publication argued that Biden spent only about 117 days on holiday, which would make up 8 percent of his presidency.
Snopes also discovered that Biden spent 109 days in Camp David or his personal residence in Delaware, locations that he often worked from.
Studies have shown that most presidents take more vacation days than average Americans

CNN reported in 2022 that Biden spent more than 25 percent of his presidency from his home in Delaware.
Biden made an estimated 55 trips to his home during the first 21 months in his term, according to a count of unofficial White House Press Corps. Statistician Mark Knoller.
'Presidents of the United States are constantly at work, regardless of their location – whether on a state visit abroad or only 100 miles from the White House for a short trip to Wilmington, the' former deputy secretary of The White House Andrew Bates said at the time.
“And as all Americans can agree, it is important for leaders to prevent them from being nestled in Washington, DC.”
The Washington Post argued in 2022 that the trips from Biden typically to Wilmington and his house in Rehoboth Beach were that the secret service cost less money than Trump to his homes in Mar-A-Lago and Bedminster, New Jersey.
Despite the discrepancies in the free time of Biden, an investigation by Roll Call revealed last summer that both Biden and Trump had one of the lowest office hours of a modern president.
Roll Call considered office hours as the time between the average first and last planned agreements of the president during the working day.
Biden was beaten by opponents because they had too many days off to go to Delaware while he was president
Trump turned out to have only an average of 6.03 office hours during his first term, while Truman had 6.72 and had Biden 6.8.
Obama came in fourth place to last with an average of 7.2 office hours, while George HW Bush had no less than an average of 14.9 hours.
The study only had the amount of time that presidents have kept meetings in an official capacity, not necessarily how often they worked alone.
Although studies differ from exactly how many days are free during his presidency, it seems that he has submitted less working hours than other presidents.
