> Trump says he's canceling all Biden orders that were signed using an autopen

Washington — President Trump said Friday he is canceling all orders signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen, a mechanical device that reproduces signatures.

"Any document signed" by Biden via the use of an autopen "is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect," Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"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," Mr. Trump said. "Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury."

Biden signed 162 executive orders during his presidency, according to the American Presidency Project. It's unclear how many were signed using an autopen, though it's not unusual for presidents to revoke their predecessor's directives.

Mr. Trump has already rolled back dozens of Biden's executive orders. The president rescinded nearly 70 of Biden's executive orders shortly after he was sworn in on Jan. 20 for his second term and another 19 on March 14, according to the White House.

Mr. Trump previously ordered an investigation into the Biden White House's use of the autopen to sign presidential documents like pardons, claiming there was a "conspiracy" to "abuse the power of presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden's cognitive decline."

In a July statement, Biden called Mr. Trump's claims "nothing more than distraction."

"Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false," Biden said.

House Republicans released a report last month that was critical of Biden's autopen use, but did not include clear evidence that his aides conspired to sign laws or other directives without his knowledge.

Presidents have long used an autopen to sign documents. In 2005, the Justice Department under President George W. Bush said the president can legally use an autopen to sign bills into law.

In March, Mr. Trump acknowledged he has also used an autopen, but "only for very unimportant papers."

This is another "flood the zone" nothingburger.

Bingo Joe

lmao

Yes, that's obviously bad, but the hypocrisy is still worth pointing out. Especially when it's this easy.
>>

>that's obviously bad, but-
Bro you don't understand. Donnie T is about to initiate a constitutional crisis.
If Biden signed a bill for X dollars to Y program, and that money gets spent, but Trump strikes those bills down, what does that mean for the money? That everybody who received federal dollars needs to pay it back after its spent?
Same shit for presidential pardons, commuted sentences and any number of policies.
This is such a fucking retarded situation.
>>
>>1461074
Also just to add something else:
Trump isn't striking these laws and policies down. He's literally arguing that they were unlawfully executed and totally invalid, including all the downstream effects that they produced.

'No idea who he is,' says Trump after pardoning crypto tycoon
>>
>>1461075
No matter what he thinks, he doesn't have the power to strike laws down. He can strike all the executive orders down he wants, though, if they were signed with an autopen or not.

That's over. We lost.

Haha, tRump never gets to see the important ones, because I sign them
>>
>>1461074
>Bro you don't understand. Donnie T is about to initiate a constitutional crisis.
He's just doing executive orders.

Also he had already rescinded more than half of Biden's executive orders by March.

Breaking: President Trump doesn't know what perjury means.

Yawn. Throw it on the pile going all the way back to Obama's birth certificate

Really the only thing that makes this story even remotely newsworthy is the fact that some MIGA loser /pol/ mod decided to sticky this tweet
Why it decided this retarded Trump tweet was more notable than every other retarded Trump tweet, your guess is as good as mine

Question for you: do you believe politicians obey the constitutions?
Do you think most voters have read or understand if?

This ‘constitutional crisis’ sounds like you’re missing the boat
>>
>>1461055
Is MAGA really that desperate to prosecute Hunter, Fauci, and the J6 people in what little time they have left that they're giving up protection from future Trump pardons?

Something something executive immunity.
>>
>>1461133
>Republican supreme court.
We need to start playing hard ball and just demand where in the constitution judicial review is to give the president total immunity.
Considering how corrupt the courts are, giving them the middle finger over their political rulings is the best way to deal with them.
>>
>>1461138
>President has power of the purse now?
Yup. Welcome to Trump's America.
>>
>>1461140
Ah shit you caught it before I deleted it.
I only read half the OP post before I posted.
But, I think the idea of a "Constitutional Crisis" is silly.
This will have to go through the courts, aside from the Bidet EOs, which were gay and shitty anyway.
And the article points out there's standing precedent from Shit-ass BJ in 2005.
>>
>>1461142
To be fair, 95% of the time Bush was too high on coke, or too drunk to sign.
>>
>>1461135
>where in the constitution judicial review is
Judicial review was not in the Constitution and came into existence from Marbury vs Madison 20 years after the revolution, purely as a political tool to fight between parties. Since then the court (Scotus) has effectively done nothing except attempting to hold onto their power without being elected by making political deals with the other two branches.
>>
>>1461193
>purely as a political tool to fight between parties
More like purely as a necessary fix for a power vacuum. Judicial review or something equivalent is something that needs to exists for government to function and absent the creation of a 4th branch, it makes the most sense for the power to fall into the hands of the one branch that can't unilaterally bring matters before itself. For judicial review to even be wielded, there needs to be a dispute happening already.
>But courts abuse it
There is no system of government that can survive enough bad actors in enough places. That's why checks and balances exist. Abuses we see in government today are because there are enough bad actors that those checks and balances aren't functioning.

All of which is just a long way of saying "Fuck Republicans!"
>>
>>1461133
No, Trump is saying Biden claiming *now* that he knew what was being signed while he was president would be perjury.

The implication being Trump thinks Biden simply lying would be perjury.
>>
>>1461195
Judicial review is a joke because the first time Congress or the president doesn't like their decision, they can literally just flood Scotus with more judges. Which, if we're being honest, probably should have happened a long time ago.

So every time Scotus faces an existential crisis, they fold like lawn chairs. That's the history of Scotus.

You know who doesn't fold like lawn chairs? The fourth unelected branch - FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. When faced with their own existential crisis, when Nixon was ready to disband the FBI, Hoover showed up to a meeting with Nixon and left with a lifetime appointment. He didn't accomplish that through negotiations; he blackmailed the person who was supposedly his boss.

>You know who doesn't fold like lawn chairs? The fourth unelected branch - FBI
Bitch, I refer you to the current administration.
>>
>>1461198
I'd love to see the democrats grow some balls and delegitimize the current SCOTUS.
And republicans have made it piss easy too with how corrupt republican judges like Alito and Thomas are.
Hell you, could even troll them too by referring them as the Republican Supreme Court.
You know that would absolutely piss off Roberts and Alito who are deperate to make it seem like they are Republican agents.
