Following President Trump's assertion that former President Biden's pardons are void, legal analysts, including Andrew Napolitano, dispute this claim. They emphasize that valid pardons do not require the president's personal signature, nor is explicit knowledge or approval necessary for their legitimacy. Trump's argument hinges on the assertion that the pardons were issued without Biden's knowledge, but analysts argue that this is not a legal prerequisite for pardons. Additionally, public commentary by Biden regarding potential pardons further contradicts Trump's narrative.
Just like there was no requirement that Donald Trump personally sign the declassification of documents that he took to his own home. The act of taking them to his home is effectively the declassification.
The necessary pardoning documents Trump referenced do not need the president's signature in order for them to be valid.
