This is actually something lifted from elsewhere:In the Obituaries section of one of the local southern newspapers
“With great sadness we announce that yesterday, at the age of 78, after long illness and without regaining consciousness Vice President Joe Biden became the 46th president of the United States”
- TASS announcement: "Today, due to bad health and without regaining consciousness, Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko took up the duties of Secretary General". (The first element in the sentence is the customary form of words at the beginning of state leaders' obituaries.)
