"With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position with the filibuster that existed when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago that used to be required for the filibuster," he told reporters.
Although some Twitter users out that told and insisted Biden was joking, others lambasted him.
"Are you kidding me?" tweeted one person. "Biden is flipping through a typed, multi-page document, which i bet are Qs & As.
"I've never seen a POTUS bring one of those to a news conference. Is he really that week that he needs a study guide."
"God... Good luck united States," wrote another, while a third user said: "If he’s making jokes they’re not working."

"His presidency feels like it has been 120 years," quipped a fourth, while a fifth raged: "He needs to be removed like yesterday. He hasn't the slightest clue."
Republican QAnon Rep also weighed in, writing: "Biden thinks he came to the US Senate 120 years ago?!?"
"Joe Biden is stumbling so badly that he can’t even answer questions in a manner that makes sense," she continued.
"Not only did he lie about President Trump, Biden doesn’t have a clue what is going on. He is not fit to serve. It’s obvious to everyone."
Conservative pundit also tweeted in all caps: "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS DEMENTIA."
Owens – who recently became embroiled in a Twitter war with Cardi B – ranted: "Are we supposed to feign surprise when Biden announces that he's stepping down as President to deal with health issues?"
She then claimed that "installing Kamala Harris was their plan all along."
In fact, Biden occasionally stumbles over his words that has given him difficulty throughout his life.
After being mocked by Trump's then press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in 2019, Biden shot back: "I’ve worked my whole life to overcome a stutter.
"And it’s my great honor to mentor kids who have experienced the same. It's called empathy. Look it up. "
During today's conference, the president addressed the migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border, gun control, the Covid-19 vaccine, and US relations with both North Korea and China.
He announced that his administration would oversee 200million shots in 100 days, the millions have received their stimulus payments, and revealed that executive action on gun control was a "matter of timing."
"The next major initiative is – and I'll be announcing it Friday in Pittsburgh in detail – is to rebuild the infrastructure both physically and technological infrastructure in this country," he told reporters.
Speaking about the surging migration issues at the border, he said the situation would rapidly improve once they deported people within the next week after "rearranging and providing for the personnel needed."
Biden pointed out that 70 percent of the unaccompanied minors are 16 or 17 years old and the very young make up one-and-a-half percent of the surge.
"There's no easy answer," he said, before being quizzed about kids being "packed into pods" by the journalist. "The judgement has to be made."
