Joe Biden presented the Presidential Rank Awards to 230 winners from 37 federal agencies in a virtual ceremony on Monday.
The Presidential Rank Awards is an award given to civil service workers to recognize Senior Executive Service for exceptional performance over an extended period of time.
The Rank Award statute was later amended to extend eligibility to senior career employees with a sustained record of exceptional professional, technical and/or scientific achievement recognized on a national or international level. Two categories of Presidential Rank Award are available: distinguished rank recipients and meritorious rank recipients.
Distinguished rank recipients are recognized for their sustained extraordinary accomplishments. Only 1% receive this rank each year. They receive a cash award of 35% of their base salary.
Meritorious rank recipients are recognized for their sustained accomplishment. No more than 5% each year may receive this award. They receive a cash award of 20% of their base salary.
But Biden tripped over his teleprompter. He didn’t seem to be able to see or understand what he was reading — he didn’t even get the name of the award correct, and he’s the one overseeing the event.
“And that’s what public service is all about,” Biden said. “It’s that, uh, it’s uh, it’s that what the President Rank Award–s are all about.”
Without his Prompter (full of script by Pelosi ) he is LOST !!!! Idiot / puppet
He trips over his tongue quite a bit too.
He tripped over Easter Eggs & the Bunny had to Remove him !!!
