Overview
- The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project claims that nearly all documents bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency were signed using an autopen device.
- The findings have reignited scrutiny over Biden's mental acuity, with critics questioning whether he was fully aware of or involved in key decisions.
- Examples cited include executive orders, pardons, and other significant documents, with the only exception being Biden's 2024 withdrawal from the presidential race.
- Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has called for a Department of Justice investigation into whether unelected staff exploited Biden's alleged cognitive decline to push policies without his direct approval.
- The debate over the autopen's use extends to broader concerns about transparency, accountability, and the constitutional process for addressing presidential incapacity.
