Joe Biden Invites a Guy to Podium to Sing Happy Birthday, But Makes a Total Fool Out of Himself  (VIDEO)

Joe Biden faced criticism after signing the Social Security Fairness Act during a ceremony in the East Room on Sunday.

The new legislation repeals rules that previously restricted certain retirees from claiming full Social Security benefits if they also received pensions. The changes primarily affect retirees who worked as firefighters, teachers, postal workers, police officers, or in other public sector jobs. The act also removes limits on benefits for the surviving spouses of these workers, providing them with greater financial support.

During the signing, Biden emphasized the importance of the legislation, stating, “The bill I’m signing today is about a simple proposition: Americans who have worked hard all their lives to earn an honest living should be able to retire with economic security and dignity.”

The act aims to address long-standing complaints about fairness in the Social Security system, but Biden’s handling of the event drew mixed reactions, with critics claiming the president’s performance undermined the significance of the moment.
