Former President Donald Trump asserts that pardons issued by President Joe Biden are invalid because they may have been signed using an autopen, a device that mechanically reproduces a signature. Trump's claims follow his criticisms regarding Biden's use of the autopen. However, legal experts affirm that the Constitution does not mandate a direct human signature for pardons, and there are no mechanisms to overturn them once granted. This indicates that Trump's assertions may lack substantial legal grounding. The historical use of autopens by previous presidents also adds context to the discussion.
The 'Pardons' that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs... are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because... they were done by Autopen.
Legal scholars agree that the Constitution doesn't require a pardon's direct human signing, and there is no constitutional mechanism to overturn pardons once granted.
