President Bush transferred presidential powers to Vice President Dick Cheney for more than two hours Saturday during a routine colon screening that ended in a clean bill of health.
It was only the second time in history that the Constitution's presidential disability clause was invoked. Bush was sedated during the 20-minute procedure.
"The president continues to be in outstanding health," said Air Force Col. Richard Tubb, the White House physician who led the examination. "No polyps were found, no abnormalities were found."
The procedure, a colonoscopy, was done at the well-equipped medical facility in Camp David, the presidential retreat in western Maryland. Bush felt well enough afterward to play with his dogs and take a 4-mile walk with the first lady and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card and his wife. He then went to the gym for a light workout. full story
