Trump says 'Sleepy Joe Biden' autopen actions are 'terminated'
Trump says 'Sleepy Joe Biden' autopen actions are 'terminated'
Biden has previously rejected Trump's assertions, as presidents have long used autopens.

President Donald Trump continued his longstanding crusade to reverse actions taken by his predecessor on Nov. 28, saying on Truth Social that anything former President Joe Biden signed using autopen technology is invalid.
"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," Trump wrote.
While declarations on social media do not have the force of law, Trump's missive may signal future action, such as refusing to enforce a Biden-era executive order.
Interesting. As far as I know, any president can cancel the executive orders of a previous president. That would be regardless of how they were signed.
As with many of Trump's actions, I wonder why he did not do this immediately upon taking office.
