Does Anybody Know Why Joe Biden Didn't Go to The Coronation?

[Road Runner]

I've been reading different news articles about it, but I have yet to find one that explains why.

I don't believe any American President has attended any coronations nor should they.

Hmm that's funny. I could have sworn I read somewhere that it was tradition but now I cannot find the article I saw it in.

 

[Mr Natural]

He’s got better things to do.

He's probably wandering around Rio de Janeiro looking for it.

Such as what? Chasing down the ice cream truck?

yes you are correct he would have been the first US president to go to a British coronation....

Fucking up your country.

Umm,.. the first US what??

I just found this article. Not sure how true it is but seems legit:

Biden’s coronation no-show is no snub – more telling is whom he sends to King Charles’ big day

No US president has ever attended a British royal coronation – but history shows that they signal intent by whom they choose to go in their stead.

“Because we already have plans to attend a Baskin-Robbins ceremony.”

I found this....

President Joe Biden Followed Tradition by Skipping King Charles III's Coronation

Here's why he wasn't there.

No sitting U.S. president has ever attended a coronation of a British monarch. Like his predecessors before him, Biden decided to follow tradition and simply pass on the invitation to someone else who could represent him amongst the congregation at Westminster Abbey.

Screw the King of England.

The truth is I just don't know anything about coronation history because the last time it happened was nearly forty years before I was born.

I don't know much about it either...

I didn't know either until a few minutes ago. I would have thought it was common practice for allied nations to attend each other's special occasions. Learn something new every day.

He's probably not interested in a mere figurehead with no real power, who simply does what the people around him tell him to do.

Oh, wait . . .
