Trump pushes long-running attack on Biden autopen use, claiming he's 'cancelling' actions signed with it

President Donald Trump on Friday continued his effort to delegitimize actions taken during Joe Biden’s presidency, claiming in a social media post that he is “cancelling all executive orders, and anything else that was not directly signed” by his predecessor.

Trump’s declaration, made in a post on Truth Social, raises a number of questions. Chief among them, whether he has the legal authority to rescind the former president’s actions on the basis he described.

“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, without specifying what falls under that 92%.

“The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States,” he added. Trump further claimed that Biden “was not involved in the Autopen process” and warned that “if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury.”

His obsession with Biden is that of a sick, sick, sick man who shouldn't be an American politician, never mind a U.S. president.

Trump is POTUS. He can do away with any prior executive orders whenever he wants. His (alleged) distinction about autopens is meaningless.

I read that the Felon's pardons issued to 1,600 J6 insurrectionists were signed by an autopen.
