#Trump also seemed to briefly back away from the extraordinary idea he had just posted. He was asked: Would other things #Biden signed as president using an autopen also be considered null & void?
“It’s not my decision,” he said. “That would be up to a court. But I would say that they’re null & void, because I’m sure that Biden didn’t have any idea that it was taking place.”
The use of an autopen is not new; it apparently was first used to sign a bill into law at the direction of a president in 2011, when President Barack Obama was traveling in Europe & wanted to sign a piece of legislation that Congress passed extending the Patriot Act another 4 yrs.

#Trump, who specifically took aim at the #pardons granted to members of the bipartisan House cmte that investigated the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection, offered no evidence for his claim, & there is no power in the #Constitution or case #law to undo a #pardon. But Trump’s assertion, which embraced a baseless #FarRight #ConspiracyTheory about #Biden, was a new escalation of his antidemocratic rhetoric.
#Trump wrote on social media on Sunday night that he no longer considered valid the #pardons President Joe #Biden granted to people whom Trump sees as political enemies because they were signed using an autopen — a typically uncontroversial method of affixing a presidential signature.
