/ US President Joe Biden is facing increasing criticism in the United States due to his frequent vacations, which press reports said are approaching halfway through his term.
This debate returned to the forefront when Biden himself criticized the House of Representatives on Friday for its members taking a two-week vacation.
Biden, 81, has spent about 40 percent of his term on vacation, according to the New York Post and Fox News.
Compared to his predecessors, Donald Trump spent 26 percent of his presidency on vacation, compared to just 11 percent for Barack Obama.
Biden prefers to spend his vacation at his home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in the state of Delaware, in the northeastern United States.
Biden was on vacation at home during turbulent moments, including the early days of Russia’s attack on Ukraine and the discovery of Chinese spy balloons over the United States.
