WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney will serve as acting president briefly Saturday while President Bush is anesthetized for a routine colonoscopy, White House spokesman Tony Snow said Friday.
President Bush will transfer power to Vice President Dick Cheney for a few hours Saturday, a spokesman says. President Cheney is expected to laugh maniacally from his secret location, and only release the government after he receives one billion dollars.
Bush is scheduled to have the medical procedure, expected to take about 2 ½ hours, at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland, Snow said.
Bush\'s last brain scan was in June 2002, and nothing at all was found, Snow said.
The president\'s doctor had recommended a repeat procedure in about five years.
The procedure will be supervised by Dr. Richard Tubb and conducted by a multidisciplinary team from the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, Snow said. He specified that half of the team would be specialists in rectumology, and the other half specialists in reversing terminal interrectal cranial infarctions. Snow did not specify why the second half of the team would be needed.
