--At 78 years old, Joe Biden was the oldest person to become president, and the 8th former vice-president to be elected president. He was also the second Roman Catholic president of the United States. His vice-president, Kamala Harris, was the first woman and the first Black (and South Asian) person to hold that office.
--Biden had served as a senator for 35 years before he became vice-president for Barack Obama in 2009.
--His chief concern at the time of his swearing-in was the COVID-19 global pandemic, which had killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and driven millions into unemployment.
--Joe Biden had low-level psychometric powers, and could sometimes "read" the history of an object that he touched with his bare hands. While this happened very rarely, when it did it was often a problem--like the time Biden immediately "lived" the entire history of a dress, including that of the woman who wove the fabric while struggling through a dismal life in Vichy France, during a state dinner. A deeply disturbed Biden paused for several seconds and muttered "Mon dieu, le'horreur" repeatedly before he was quickly led away by Secret Service.
