Joe Biden was left red-faced as he failed to deliver the name of the law he was championing with gumption during a speech.
The US President was quick to clarify the blunder, claiming that the term was “hard to say”.
Biden was speaking on Wednesday on “junk fees” as he bids to crackdown on “tens of billions” of them.
The US President proposed business be required to disclose mandatory fees up front and instructing banks not to impose excessive charges for basic information such as account balances.

But when Biden reached the climax of his speech, he stumbled at the final hurdle by failing to pronounce the name of his keynote law.
“As we take these actions which I continue to call on Congress to pass”, he said.

“The Junk Feed… Junk Feed… prevention act”, hard to say.”
Biden stumbled as he struggled to stump up the word “prevention” during his speech outside the White House.
The President was unable to make it a clean delivery despite reading from a giant teleprompter.
Question marks continue to be levelled at the 80-year-old over whether he is in a position to run for a second term.

Americans continue to question the president’s cognitive ability, with polling in the country suggesting many are not keen on him running again in 2024.
Speaking on GB News, Republican Overseas representative Greg Swenson said Americans are talking “openly” about the perceived decline in his cognitive issues.
He said: "61 per cent think that he committed some sort of bribery or influence peddling.
“75 per cent think that he should not run for president.
“Again, 2/3 of Democrats are a little more polite about it. They say he's too old, but what they're really saying is he's got cognitive challenges."
The president will face fierce competition for the White House, with Donald Trump gunning for the Republican nomination.
Biden’s predecessor is hoping to achieve a second term himself having lost to the incumbent in the 2020 election.
Current polling has Trump with an unassailable lead in most polls when it comes to the Republican nomination, but continued questions over the 77-year-old’s legal battles could prove to be a stumbling block.
