Bush Medical Statement

White House press secretary Ari Fleischer's statement Saturday after President Bush's colonoscopy:

President Bush this morning underwent a colorectal screening procedure at Camp David in which no polyps were found and no evidence of any abnormalities was discovered.

At 7:09 a.m. (EDT), Article XXV of the Constitution was invoked, temporarily transferring the power of the presidency to Vice President Dick Cheney. At that time, anesthesia was administered to the President. The procedure was concluded at 7:29 a.m. and the president awoke at 7:31 a.m. The power of the presidency was returned to President Bush at 9:24 a.m.

The president says he feels ``great'' and will resume his normal routine at Camp David.
