Any executive order former President Joe Biden signed with autopen have become null and void.
President Donald Trump made the announcement on Truth Social Friday, The Hill reported.
“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. “The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.”
Trump continued in his post by stating “the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally.”
“The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. 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,” Trump wrote. “Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury.“
The autopen controversy was also in Trump’s mind in Tuesday when he pardoned two turkeys in a presidential pre-Thanksgiving ritual.
“After a thorough and very rigorous investigation … into a terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden, he used an autopen last year for the turkey’s pardon,” Trump said.
“So, I have the official duty to determine, and I have determined, that last year’s turkey pardons are totally invalid,” Trump added.
In September, the Whote House replaced Biden’s portrait in the “Presidential Walk of Fame” with a photo of an “autopen” writing his signature.
Autopen is “a tool for signing official documents in place of a manual signature,” per the outlet.
Presidents from both sides of the aisle have used it.
