Evidence is increasing that Joe Biden may have operated as a president merely in name during a significant portion of his term. According to reports, a group of high-ranking White House staffers might have effectively run a de facto presidency, making critical decisions without constitutional legitimacy.
If these claims are substantiated, they could challenge the legitimacy of several pardons and executive orders made under Biden’s name, yet possibly without his informed consent. Therefore, it is essential for Biden’s closest aides to testify under oath, and for others within his inner circle to reveal what they knew regarding the administration’s decision-making processes.
Investigations Prompted by Concerns Over Autopen Usage
The Department of Justice has initiated a thorough investigation into pardons, commutations, and clemencies granted in Biden’s final days in office. This inquiry specifically includes preemptive pardons granted to several family members, including his son, Hunter Biden. The investigation seeks to establish whether Biden remained competent and if individuals close to him exploited his apparent cognitive decline.
Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee is intensifying its scrutiny of what some are calling a cover-up regarding Biden’s cognitive health. Both inquiries are particularly interested in the potential unauthorized utilization of an autopen in executing numerous executive actions, as noted by Committee Chairman James Comer.
Questions arise concerning whether unsanctioned actors seized control of the autopen to advocate their personal and political agendas. Did they compromise national security in the process? This situation raises the complexities of what some have termed the Case of the Runaway Autopen. A thorough resolution may prove challenging, considering Washington’s tendencies toward secrecy and deception.
Aides Under Scrutiny as Interviews Are Requested
Comer has formally requested interviews with five former aides of Biden, including his physician Kevin O’Connor. Should these individuals resist, subpoenas will follow. While Biden could invoke Executive Privilege to silence them, President Trump might choose to override that privilege as Biden did after Trump’s first term. If Biden is indeed aware of the ongoing debates, he might rue his prior actions.
Discussions surrounding the invalidity of pardons and executive orders are not as straightforward as some legal experts suggest. They maintain that no constitutional means exist to overturn pardons once granted, yet this perspective only captures part of the truth.
The Legal Framework Surrounding Forged Signatures
Established legal precedents allow for the annulment of documents where fraud is identified. Under statutory provisions, this is classified as forgery, as per 18 USC 471 and 495. Such acts would render any impacted documents invalid and unenforceable.
The U.S. Supreme Court has previously articulated that any characterization involving fraud nullifies even the most solemn contracts and documents. This legal principle applies universally, encompassing presidential documents.
Understanding Autopen Usage in the Presidential Context
An autopen is a device that mimics a signature using a robotic arm with a pen. While it can imitate a person’s signature, the resulting imprint is often consistent and identifiable. Historically, past presidents have employed autopens for various documents, and while its use is legal, it hinges on a crucial stipulation: the purported signator’s consent, in this case, Joe Biden.
If the 46th president did not consent to, or was unaware of, the autopen’s use for any of the documents containing his signature, such documents may qualify as legally void. If Biden lacked the mental competency to provide informed consent, the ramifications remain the same.
The Justice Department permitted the autopen’s use by presidents two decades ago, contingent upon a direct instruction from the president, who must personally authorize a subordinate to utilize the device. The DOJ has warned, however, that a president cannot delegate their decision-making power regarding what documents a signature is affixed to, as that responsibility rests solely with the sitting president.
Growing Concerns Over The Scope of Autopen Usage
As reports of potential autopen use proliferate, scrutiny intensifies. The increasing accounts highlighting Biden’s declining cognitive capabilities amplify the necessity for a thorough investigation. If his aides actively concealed his health issues, did they also bypass his permission for decisions made under his name? Did they act independently out of fear regarding his mental capacity or likely confusion?
A Speaker’s Revelation Raises Alarms
Recent statements by House Speaker Mike Johnson offer troubling insights. Johnson recounted a private meeting with Biden last year where the president exhibited a complete lack of awareness regarding an executive order he had signed weeks earlier that halted liquified natural gas exports. When confronted with this information, Biden expressed disbelief, insisting he had not signed it.
Johnson later reflected on this encounter, expressing concern for the nation’s governance under such circumstances. He stated, “I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble —who is running the country?’”
It remains plausible that the executive order was indeed signed via autopen without Biden’s consent. Alternatively, did Biden, in a moment of confusion, sign a document he could not comprehend? Was there an instance of his aides misrepresenting the document’s contents to him? Or perhaps Biden’s mental acuity was so compromised at that point that he couldn’t recollect the action of affixing his signature to a document that drastically affected the economy.
Examining the Nature of Recent Pardons
The preemptive pardons dispensed towards individuals, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and Biden’s family members, often carry the unmistakable markings of autopen signatures. In contrast, Hunter Biden’s pardon appears to reflect his father’s real, albeit shaky, signature. Why this disparity? Did Biden authorize these group pardons, or did someone operate the autopen without genuine consent?
The evidence supporting the assertion that Biden’s cognitive decline has worsened throughout his presidency is both substantial and compelling. This reality evokes valid concerns among Americans regarding who is genuinely wielding power in leadership.
Biden himself has provided insight into this question during several rare public appearances. He has expressed a need for staff approval, stating,
