Biden: Autopen Autocrat?

Let's take a look back-see:

 

[Sally_Sensation]

Whoa.

 

[BluesLegend]

Whoa.

Biden is no longer president, force him to TESTIFY UNDER OATH which pardons he remembers signing

There's going to be a full investigation by the NEW DOJ....

And it can all be stopped by Joe telling people (with clarity) he intended to sign those EOs and pardons.

Otherwise we had a COUP....someone other than an elected official was using the power of the office of the President to do their personal agenda instead.

So blanket pardons are voided....Schiff has to face the music.

Presidents have used autopens for decades. Now Trump objects to Biden’s use of one​

What is an autopen?​

An autopen is a mechanical device that is used to replicate a person’s authentic signature. A pen or other writing implement is held by an arm of the machine, which reproduces a signature after a writing sample has been fed to it. Presidents, including Trump, have used them for decades. Autopens aren’t the same as an old-fashioned ink pad and rubber stamp or the electronic signatures used on PDF documents.


Why is it suddenly an issue?
The Oversight Project at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank recently said its analysis of thousands of pages of documents bearing Biden’s signature found that most were by autopen, including pardons. Conservative media have amplified the claims, which have been picked up by Trump. He has commented for several days running about Biden’s autopen use.

Mike Howell, the project’s executive director, said in an interview that his team is scrutinizing Biden’s pardons because that power lies only with the president under the Constitution and can’t be delegated to another person or a machine. Howell said some of Biden’s pardon papers also specify they were signed in Washington on days when he was elsewhere.

What does the law say?​

There is no law governing a president’s use of an autopen.

A 2005 opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department said an autopen can be used to sign legislation. Barack Obama became the first president to do so in May 2011 when he signed an extension of the Patriot Act. Obama was in France on official business and, with time running out before the law expired, he authorized use of the autopen to sign it into law.

Much earlier guidance on pardons was sent in 1929 from the solicitor general — the attorney who argues for the United States before the Supreme Court — to the attorney general. It says “neither the Constitution nor any statute prescribes the method by which executive clemency shall be exercised or evidenced.”

Yes, we already know the talking points went out last night.

An auto pen isn't constitutional if it's being used for a comatose senile who doesn't even know what's being signed.

Your legacy mainstream media moves at the speed of slug.

It's why you keep losing.

This goes all the way back to Reagan.

During Reagan's second term as President it was discovered that he had a case of Alzheimers. It was mild and not severe....and they had the technology at the time to keep it in check. But a deal was struck that they would keep him in office but Bush was to begin looking over his shoulder MORE and no 25th ammendment would be needed.

However, he was not going to be able to work at the relentless pace he had been.

However....in this situation with Biden...Kamala was a DEI VP Hire. Absolutely worthless except as a hoe when she was younger.

Joe was a blithering idiot before the election and the dementia he had was only going to make it worse. Nobody invoked the 25th Ammendment because Republicans wanted things easy after Democrats left the stage....and none of the left wanted to admit the lies they had been telling for

Constitutional? It isn't even used and Chump had the largest inauguration crowds. But here's how a manly man takes responsibility..

President Donald Trump pleaded ignorance on Friday over a document with his name on it that invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 and led to the deportation of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador.​

“I don’t know when it was signed because I didn’t sign it,” he told reporters, adding that “other people handled it.”​

Trump Claims He Didn't Sign Proclamation Invoking Alien Enemies Act

Trump's distancing from his proclamation comes less than a week after he claimed that his predecessor Joe Biden used an autopen.
