Our economy is a yo-yo, framers struggling, disasters on the horizon, price gouging, and attacks on all aspects of education and yet the semi-literate buffoon in the White House has to throw out another diversion for his nose picking supporters.
This moronic retaliation against the former president is for the autopen he used.
Autopen?
An autopen, or signing machine, is a device used for the automatic signing of a signature. Prominent individuals may be asked to provide their signatures many times a day, such as celebrities receiving requests for autographs, or politicians signing documents and correspondence in their official capacities. Consequently, many public figures employ autopens to allow their signature to be printed on demand and without their direct involvement.
Now that you have a working definition what is it all about?
President Trump has ordered an official inquiry into whether former President Biden’s administration used an autopen—a machine that replicates signatures—to sign important presidential documents, such as pardons and judicial appointments. In a memo sent Wednesday night, Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House counsel to investigate what Trump called a potential “conspiracy” to use autopen signatures to hide Biden’s alleged cognitive decline, CBS News reports.
Trump’s order suggests that if Biden’s aides used the mechanical signature device without proper disclosure, it could call into question the validity of a range of executive actions. He wants investigators to determine which documents were signed using an autopen and who authorized its use, as well as to examine whether the public was misled about the president’s mental fitness. Per Fox News, Biden hand-signed the pardon for his son Hunter, but appears to have used an autopen for many others. He granted clemency and pardons to more than 1,500 people during his final days in office.
Trump himself has acknowledged using the device “only for very unimportant papers.” Despite this precedent, Trump and his supporters have attacked the legitimacy of Biden’s alleged use, with Trump arguing earlier this year that some late-term pardons issued by Biden should be considered null and void. Legal experts, however, point out that a president’s pardons cannot be revoked based on autopen use
So is this a big deal?
It began in 2005 with GW Bush….a decision by the DOJ……
… according to 2005 guidance from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel.
“The President need not personally perform the physical act of affixing his signature to a bill he approves and decides to sign in order for the bill to become law,” the guidance said. “Rather, the President may sign a bill … by directing a subordinate to affix the President’s signature to such a bill, for example by autopen.”
If it was okay in 2005 with the DOJ why is Donny and his clueless band on morons challenging the decision now?
When Richard III seized the English throne toward the end of the Wars of the Roses, he pressured Parliament to legitimize his usurpation of the Crown from his nephews. Parliament responded by passing a law that accused the late Edward IV, Richard’s brother, and Edward’s wife, Elizabeth Woodville, of all manner of misdeeds. The law, Titulus Regius, was an incendiary one.
It claimed that Edward’s reign had seen the laws of God and his Church, of nature, and of England left “broken, subverted and disregarded, contrary to all reason and justice.” It denounced his marriage as invalid, in part because Elizabeth had allegedly bewitched him through “sorcery and witchcraft.” And it conveniently declared that their children, who stood ahead of Richard in the line of succession (and had gone missing under his care), were bastards and automatically ineligible for the throne.
The United States is a republic, not a monarchy. But that has not stopped President Donald Trump from taking a similar approach to declaring his predecessor’s administration invalid. This week, he issued a memorandum to direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether Biden’s White House advisers had used an autopen device to fabricate Biden’s signature on official documents.
Though the memo did not go so far as to accuse Biden officials of using sorcery to bewitch him, it argued that they took advantage of his allegedly compromised mental state to wield presidential powers. “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history,” it said. “The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden’s signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts.”
