Donald Trump has taken a bold step by nullifying every executive order that Joe Biden executed using an autopen, intensifying the ongoing dispute concerning the legitimacy of the ailing former president’s tenure.

In a statement posted on Truth Social on Friday, Trump declared, “I am canceling all executive orders, and any other actions that were not personally signed by Crooked Joe Biden, as the individuals operating the autopen did so unlawfully.”

Trump further asserted that “Joe Biden was not part of the autopen procedure, and if he claims otherwise, he will face charges of perjury.”

While it is within a president’s legal rights to overturn executive orders made by previous administrations, including pardons, there is no legal framework in place for revoking clemency once it has been issued.

Throughout his time in office, Biden has signed a total of 162 executive orders.

Among the most controversial were the autopen-signed pardons of Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and members of the January 6 committee.

Biden also pardoned family members – James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden – on his last full day in office.

The Democrat’s only hand-signed pardon during his final months in office was also his most pivotal – the order signed for his recovering cocaine-addict son, Hunter.

The 83-year-old claims he personally authorized every single pardon and commutation where the autopen was used. 

The device, which has been used by Republican and Democratic presidents including Trump, replicates signatures.

Trump says he only uses the autopen to sign insignificant papers and that it should not be used for important orders, such as pardons.

The president has frequently called into question the legitimacy of the orders, citing Biden’s declining cognitive health and reports that senior White House aides frequently made executive decisions on his behalf.  

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee last month asked the Justice Department to carry out a review of every single executive order made by Biden.

It released a lengthy report which described a deeply ‘flawed process’, akin to a ‘presidential pardon game of telephone’ used in the Biden White House.

‘The Committee has found that President Biden’s aides coordinated a cover-up of the president’s diminishing faculties,’ it said.

The GOP report shed light on the never-before-exposed chain of command, which appears to have relied heavily on secondary and tertiary information passed along by decision makers who were not even present in certain meetings.

Investigators describe the structure as ‘lax’, and the instances of the ‘clemency actions taken in the final days of the Biden presidency’ are called the ‘most flagrant.’

One particular instance laid out in the report highlights ex-White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients admitting that not all decisions made by the president were formally documented.

The pardons of Biden family members in the final days of the administration were communicated ‘second-hand’ to a Zients aide, Rosa Po, who informed Zients about the pardons.

He then ‘verbally authorized the use of the autopen from home’ without knowing who actually executed the signatures.

Acting through his aide’s email, Zients approved the autopen’s use for the clemency actions without confirming with Biden that those were in fact his wishes.

Due to concerns about the president’s mental state and the opaque approval process, the committee has deemed all autopen-signed executive actions without direct written presidential consent to be invalid.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said in October that her team was ‘reviewing the Biden administration’s reported use of autopen for pardons.’
