Harris has the authority as president for one hour and 25 minutes. This is also a routine thing that the vice president does when the president undergoes a medical procedure that requires anesthesia.

Biden is the oldest first-term president in US history. Previously, the same thing had happened under George W. Bush, when Vice President Dick Cheney was granted presidential authority several times due to his routine colonoscopy.
