Trump Cancels Biden"s Autopen Executive Orders
On November 28, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a significant decision regarding the executive orders signed by current President Joe Biden. In a statement, Trump declared that any document signed by Biden using an autopen, which he claims constitutes approximately 92% of all such documents, is "hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect." This announcement raises questions about the legality of Biden"s use of the autopen and its implications for his administration"s policies.
Key Details
Trump"s declaration specifically targets executive orders and any other documents that were not directly signed by Biden himself. He stated, "I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden." This assertion suggests that Trump believes the use of the autopen, a device that replicates a person"s signature, undermines the legitimacy of Biden"s actions as president.
Trump further accused those who operated the autopen of acting illegally, claiming that Biden was not involved in the autopen process. He warned that if Biden asserts otherwise, he could face charges of perjury. This statement indicates a potential legal battle over the authenticity and validity of executive actions taken during Biden"s presidency.
The autopen is a tool historically used by U.S. presidents to expedite the signing of documents when they are unable to do so personally. However, the controversy surrounding its use in this context highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump and Biden administrations, particularly regarding the legitimacy of executive actions.
Background
Donald Trump, who served as the 45th President of the United States from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021, has remained a prominent figure in American politics following his presidency. His statements often draw significant media attention and public discourse. Joe Biden, the 46th President, took office on January 20, 2021, and has faced various challenges during his tenure, including the handling of executive orders and legislative initiatives.
The use of the autopen by Biden has been a point of contention among critics who argue that it diminishes the significance of presidential signatures. Trump"s recent announcement adds to the ongoing debate about the authority and actions of the current administration.
What"s Next
The implications of Trump"s announcement could lead to a reevaluation of executive orders signed by Biden, particularly those that were executed using the autopen. Legal experts may weigh in on the validity of such orders and whether they can be challenged in court. Additionally, this situation may prompt further scrutiny of the processes employed by the Biden administration in executing its policies.
As previously reported, the political landscape remains highly polarized, and Trump"s actions may galvanize his supporters while further dividing opinions among the electorate. The outcome of this controversy could have lasting effects on Biden"s legislative agenda and the overall perception of his presidency.
