With seven weeks to go before he turns the keys to the U.S. government over to President-elect Donald Trump, President Joe Biden has made history in a way only Washington’s “swamp” could celebrate.
For the first time ever, the Federal Register, which publishes all the government regulations and administration’s proposals, smashed through the record held by former President Barack Obama to set a new level that is sure to grow higher as the Biden team moves to lock in its liberal agenda.
As of Tuesday, the federal manual’s page count hit 96,088 for the year, and the final page appropriately carried Biden’s signature printed at the end of his Thanksgiving message.
President Joe Biden’s signature is on the record-breaking 96,088th page of the Federal Register.
“This Thanksgiving — the last one I will declare as President — I express my gratitude to the American people. Serving as President has been the honor of a lifetime. America is the greatest country on Earth, and there is so much to be grateful for. May we celebrate all that unites us — because there is nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together,” the message said.
Obama’s record of 95,894 pages held for six years. And now Biden is likely to cross the 100,000-page mark before Inauguration Day.
