Trump vows to void 'illegal' autopen docs from Biden's term and threatens ex POTUS with perjury
WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping directive to terminate all documents and executive orders signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen, alleging that the vast majority of his predecessor's official acts were unauthorized.
In a blistering statement on Friday, November 28, Trump claimed that 92% of the documents signed during the Biden presidency were executed by a machine rather than the president himself.
Trump framed the move as a restoration of legal integrity, threatening to charge Biden with perjury if he attempts to claim he authorized the signatures.
Trump claims 'lunatics' stole presidency from Biden
Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical…

Taking to Truth Social, Trump painted a picture of a presidency hijacked by aides. He argued that the use of the autopen requires specific approval, which he insists was lacking.
"The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States," Trump wrote.
He went on to characterize Biden's tenure as being controlled by "Radical Left Lunatics" who "took the Presidency away from him" while "circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk."
Trump vows to cancel 'illegal' executive orders
Trump declared that he is canceling all executive orders and "anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden." He asserted that the staff members who operated the device did so "illegally," rendering the documents void.
This retroactive cancellation would reportedly target thousands of documents, based on Trump's assertion that the proper protocols for machine signatures were ignored by Biden's staff.
Trump threatens Biden with perjury charges
Furthermore, Trump issued a direct legal threat to his predecessor. He warned that he would charge Biden with perjury if the former president tried to claim he was involved in the autopen process.
This move effectively challenges Biden to prove he was mentally and physically present for the decisions, adding a new layer of legal jeopardy to the transition of power.
Unclear how signatures will be validated
It remains unclear who will be tasked with validating the thousands of signatures or how the administration plans to implement such a retroactive cancellation of government records.
Legal experts have yet to weigh in on whether a sitting president can unilaterally void past executive actions based on the method of signature alone, setting the stage for a potential court battle.
