EXAMINING EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY DURING BIDEN’S TENURE:
In a surprising turn of events, President Donald J. Trump has issued a Presidential Memorandum initiating an investigation into the operations of the United States government during President Biden’s administration.
- The Memorandum calls for an inquiry into whether specific individuals conspired to mislead the public regarding Biden’s mental fitness and whether they unconstitutionally assumed presidential powers.
- Additionally, the Memorandum requires a thorough examination of the conditions surrounding Biden’s alleged execution of numerous executive actions during the latter part of his presidency, scrutinizing policy documents signed with an autopen, the authorization of its use, and the legitimacy of the subsequent Presidential decisions.
WHO HELD THE REINS OF POWER DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION?
The documented cognitive challenges faced by Biden, coupled with the frequent use of an autopen, raise pivotal questions about the authenticity of his executive actions.
- Reports suggest that Biden has been grappling with significant cognitive decline for several years.
- For instance, while the Department of Justice found Biden in violation of laws regarding the handling of classified materials, it ultimately determined that his mental state rendered him unfit for trial.
- Biden’s cognitive difficulties and mental decline were allegedly even more pronounced in private settings, with close associates reportedly attempting to shield this from public view.
- His advisors have limited his public engagements and meticulously scripted interactions with lawmakers, officials, and donors.
- Despite these cognitive concerns, the Biden administration has issued over 1,200 Presidential documents, appointed 235 judges to the Federal bench, and granted more pardons and commutations than any other administration in U.S. history.
- Notably, just two days before Christmas 2024, Biden commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 most heinous criminals on Federal death row, including child killers and mass murderers.
- While the power to enact these executive actions is constitutionally designated to the President, the Biden administration reportedly utilized an autopen for a majority of his executive orders, particularly during the latter half of his term.
CALLING FOR PRESIDENTIAL TRANSPARENCY:
President Trump contends that the American public deserves clarity regarding whether President Biden genuinely signed these documents, and if not, who was responsible and under what circumstances.
- President Trump stated: “They ought to find out who was operating that autopen. Because whoever it was effectively acted as the President of the United States … A President should sign documents in person, not delegate that to an autopen. We need to ascertain whether he was aware of what he was doing… This is crucial.”
- He further questioned, “The real issue is – who operated the autopen? Because I believe the documents signed were done so illegally.”
- Since reassuming office, President Trump has organized numerous open-press signing events, allowing the public to witness his signature and engagement with pertinent issues firsthand.
- Even mainstream media outlets acknowledge that President Trump is on track to becoming the most accessible President in modern history.
