Trump Vows To Nullify 92% Of Biden’s ‘Autopen’ Executive Orders
President Donald Trump issued a blistering Truth Social statement targeting former President Joe Biden’s heavy reliance on the autopen, declaring that every executive order or document Biden signed with the device is now null and void — and warning that any attempt by Biden to deny his non-involvement could result in perjury charges.
“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92 percent of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect,” Trump wrote, The Dallas Express reported. “The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.”
Trump continued, “I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury.”
Republicans have long hammered Biden for his near-total dependence on the mechanical signature device — treating it as further evidence that the 82-year-old Democrat was mentally unfit and increasingly uninvolved in presidential decision-making. House Oversight Chairman James Comer has argued Biden’s “cognitive decline” was so severe that he was unaware of his own pardons.
Biden’s former aides, of course, have denied the accusations, insisting there was no effort to bypass Biden’s awareness. But critics maintain that many documents were signed without Biden’s knowledge, further fueling concerns about his deteriorating cognition, Mediaite reported.
Biden himself has insisted he was fully engaged, saying he was responsible for “every pardon” issued in his final days.
While autopens have existed for centuries — dating back to Thomas Jefferson’s time — and have been used by presidents including Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, the debate has centered on how Biden used the device, and to what extent he personally approved the decisions. Obama became the first president to use the autopen to sign legislation in 2011. A 2005 Justice Department memo concluded that autopen use is legal, noting, “A person may sign a document by directing that his signature be affixed to it by another.”
President Trump has acknowledged limited use of the autopen himself, but only for trivial correspondence.
“You know, we get thousands and thousands of letters, letters of support for young people, from people that aren’t feeling well, etcetera,” Trump explained to reporters earlier this year. “But to sign pardons and all of the things that he signed with an autopen is disgraceful.”
In a July interview with The New York Times, Biden fired back at GOP criticism, declaring Republicans are “liars” for suggesting he was unaware of actions signed with the autopen. “I made every decision,” he said.
Trump Links Autopen Scandal to His New Immigration Action
President Trump also announced a sweeping new immigration policy following the shocking shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C.
In a Truth Social post reported by RedState, Trump said America’s advancements have been undermined by catastrophic immigration failures: “Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many.”
He declared that he will “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
With Biden’s autopen practices now under direct presidential scrutiny — and Trump moving aggressively to dismantle every policy tied to them — the former president may soon face a legal and political reckoning for documents he may never have personally read or approved.
