No secret about the rush of funds and especially pardons that came out of the white house during the last days, and even the very last day of former President Biden's term.
We have all heard about it from President Trump as he has claimed that many of those pardons are null and void because of the use of an autopen.
Let's break stuff down a bit. Presidents have used autopens, Thomas Jefferson had the earliest version, but it would only duplicate a signature as it was being signed, they didn't have data storage way back then, hehe. Truman was the first to use a modern version, but only to sign checks. G.W. Bush asked the DOJ about using one and they issued an opinion, but that's just it, an opinion. Barack Obama was the first to use it for actual legislation. More info.
As the Constitution is obviously unclear as autopens didn't exist at all then, I believe a court challenge may be needed to settle the matter, if it goes that far. The biggest problem I see is the obvious decline in Biden's mental facilities during his whole Presidency, leaving many to wonder who was really running the country. This could get interesting.
"As a lawyer, I see that real concerns have been raised about the capacity of President Joe Biden or Kamala Harris to fulfill their duties required of his office. These concerns have significant legal implications regarding the executive orders, pardons, and documents signed by the President.
"Specifically, questions have arisen regarding whether President Biden fully comprehends the content of the documents he signs, and whether his use of a signature machine, such as an autopen behind closed doors, might further undermine any legitimacy of any presidential actions in these last few months."
The Legal Implications of Biden's Pardons, Orders
"New signature analysis conducted by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project indicates that the "same exact Biden autopen signature" appeared on each of these pardons.
"This revelation regarding the use of an automatic signature device, coupled with evidence of Biden's diminished agency while in office and previous allegations concerning his sidelining, has prompted some critics to wonder who was actually dispensing pardons as well as about the validity of the controversial pardons."
Is Fauci pardon legitimate? Autopen signatures cast doubt on legality of Biden docs.
This is an opinion piece based upon the above facts:
"The Heritage Foundation dove deep on official documents from Biden’s time in office and found that nearly all bore the robot’s signature; the chief exception was the one dropping his bid for re-election."
Who was really running the country while Autopen Joe Biden snoozed and drooled?
