Brace yourself for a presidential power move that’s shaking up Washington: President Donald Trump has just dropped a bombshell by voiding a slew of documents signed with former President Joe Biden’s autopen, Breitbart reported.
Trump’s stunning announcement on Friday targets what he calls an illegal overreach, claiming that a staggering number of Biden’s official papers—estimated at 92%—were inked by machine without proper authorization, rendering them legally meaningless.
Let’s rewind to earlier this year when whispers of autopen misuse first surfaced, with a Heritage Foundation report in March raising eyebrows by noting that most of Biden’s signatures were mechanical reproductions.
By May, Trump was already sounding the alarm on Truth Social, warning that this autopen saga was ballooning into a full-blown scandal that could tarnish Biden’s legacy.
Fast forward to late October, and the House Oversight Committee stepped into the fray, pressing the Justice Department to probe whether some executive actions under Biden were rolled out without his direct consent.
Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., didn’t mince words, stating, “We have provided Americans with transparency about the Biden Autopen Presidency, and now there must be accountability.”
Trump’s Friday decree wasn’t just a statement—it was a sledgehammer, as he declared all executive orders and other documents not personally signed by Biden to be nullified due to what he deems unauthorized autopen use.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump asserted, “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect.”
He didn’t stop there, adding, “The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.”
Trump’s accusations cut deeper, alleging that Biden had no hand in the autopen process and hinting at legal consequences like perjury if Biden claims otherwise.
Reports from the House Oversight Committee fueled this fire, suggesting that some of Biden’s own aides might have deployed the autopen on executive actions without his knowledge—a troubling breach of trust if proven true.
Even symbolic gestures came under scrutiny, as the White House displayed presidential portraits in the West Wing colonnade, with Biden’s reportedly being a mere snapshot of an autopen signature.
This isn’t just about signatures; it’s about the integrity of executive power and whether the American people were misled by a presidency potentially run on autopilot.
While some may argue that autopen use is a practical necessity in a busy administration, the sheer scale—92% by Trump’s estimate—raises valid questions about oversight and authenticity that deserve answers.
As this controversy unfolds, Trump’s decisive action and Comer’s push for accountability signal that the autopen issue won’t be swept under the rug, ensuring that trust in governmental processes remains a priority for conservatives who value transparency over bureaucratic convenience.
