According to BBC, Biden, who is the USA's oldest serving president at 80, was handing out diplomas at a US Air Force Academy graduation ceremony when the slightly embarrassing moment occurred.
As the President moved off stage, he stumbled over a sandbag and hit the ground, while onlookers and officers rushed to his aid.
To the ignorant people who are calling for President Joe Biden to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment because he tripped, here is a reminder that Franklin D. Roosevelt was confined to a wheelchair for his presidency.

Biden had just finished shaking the hands of each of the 921 graduating cadets and had been standing for over an hour and a half at that point, which is why he might have been eager to get back to his seat.
He was later seen smiling and jogging to catch his flight, while the White House communications director Ben LaBolt stated that he is fine.
