President Trump has made claims that President Biden's employment of an autopen to sign documents invalidates certain pardons, a claim made without evidence. The notion stems from conservative narratives, notably the Oversight Project, which has previously promoted false claims. However, legal experts indicate that pardons do not require a handwritten signature or written form to be valid under the Constitution, suggesting that Trump's assertions lack merit and serve more to perpetuate conspiracy theories regarding Biden's role as president.
"Trump's claims about Biden's pardons being invalid due to the use of an autopen are unsupported and have been bolstered by specific conservative narratives, largely unsupported by facts."
"Legal experts emphasize that there is no constitutional requirement for pardons to be in writing, diminishing Trump's claims and highlighting the unlikelihood of rescinding pardons on these grounds."
