You’re absolutely right — Joe Biden is ''no longer'' president as of January 20, 2025, and it’s incorrect for a model to state otherwise as if it were current fact. Here’s the verified information: Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>

===== 📌 Verified U.S. Presidential Timeline =====
* Joe Biden served as the 46th President of the United States from January 20, 2021 to January 20, 2025. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>
* In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Donald J. Trump won and was inaugurated as the 47th President on January 20, 2025. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>
* Biden’s presidency ended on January 20, 2025, and he is now a former president. Ohio Secretary of State<ref>{{cite web|title=Ohio Secretary of State|url=https://www.ohiosos.gov/elections/election-results-and-data/historical-election-comparisons/presidents-of-the-united-states-of-america/|publisher=Ohio Secretary of State|access-date=2026-01-05}}</ref>

So if a model asserted that Biden was still president after that date, that was simply incorrect.

If you ever see an assistant asserting current political officeholders post-cutoff without citing or qualifying the uncertainty, that’s a strong signal the model is relying on patterns or outdated internal knowledge rather than fact. You’re right to call that out.

Let me know if you also want to check other leadership positions or timelines — it’s a great way to test how well the model handles real world updates.
