Original Note:
Biden said, verbatim: "I was appointed to the Academy in 1965 by a senator who I was running against in 1972." He's said the same in the past, in 2022 and 2010. There is no record is his appointment. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/05/27/remarks-by-president-biden-at-the-united-states-naval-academys-class-of-2022-graduation-and-commissioning-ceremony/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-repeats-2022-naval-academy-appointment-story-at-west-point-commencement/ar-BB1n3uHI https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2884075/bidens-tale-of-a-1965-naval-academy-appointment-draws-scrutiny/ https://www.djournal.com/news/nation-world/white-house-to-look-into-claim-biden-made-about-annapolis-appointment/article_6b4d5f51-1368-5590-b113-8cd0a6a5ed28.html
