Trump 'cancelling' Biden executive orders signed by autopen

By Jane C. Timm

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he was cancelling executive orders signed by President Joe Biden’s autopen.

Like many presidents, including Trump, Biden used an autopen to sign certain official documents. Republicans have claimed the autopen was used by the people around Biden to circumvent a mentally declining president.

“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,” he 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.”

Biden's team did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the former president has rejected these claims in the past, saying in June: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency.”

“I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations,” he said then. “Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”
