Was an Autopen the President of the United States from January 2021 to January 2025?

Frm the linked article:

Virtually every document bearing Joe Biden’s signature during his presidency [sic] was signed by an autopen.

The key issue with Biden is whether he actually authorized the use of the autopen — or if someone else was running it without his knowledge.

The New York Post has uncovered a pattern of potential power abuse within the Biden White House, with insiders suspecting a key aide may have made unilateral decisions on what to sign.

On Sunday night, Trump declared that Biden’s pardons are “VOID, VACANT, AND [TO] NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!”

The Oversight Project released a memo exposing 32 instances where the Biden White House used an autopen to sign clemency warrants, granting pardons and commutations to thousands — including preemptive pardons for members of the J6 Committee.

The report raises serious concerns about the implications of a presidency governed by autopen rather than by the president himself.

“We analyzed the 51 clemency warrants with President Biden’s signature on them. In those warrants, the Biden Administration granted clemency to 4,245 people—the most of any President,” the memo reads. “We found that the Biden White House used two variations of his signature loaded into an autopen to sign over half of the clemency warrants issued during his Presidency. We identified the two autopen signatures as Autopen A and Autopen B in this Memorandum. We calculated that the Biden Administration signed 16 warrants with Autopen A, 16 warrants with Autopen B, and 19 warrants appear to be signed with a wet signature.”

The warrants we determined to be wet signatures contain significant variations between the signatures.

Some warrants spell out the President’s entire first name “Joseph.” Others have only a diagonal line to indicate the letter “J.” Other wet signed warrants have significant variations in the President’s middle initial “R” and “B” in the last name “Biden.” At the time of publication of this Memorandum, the variations of the wet signatures are so severe, that it is unclear whether the same person signed all of the warrants. We are continuing to investigate this issue.

While the Oversight Project hasn’t confirmed it yet, evidence suggests that beyond a rogue staffer using the autopen — possibly without Biden’s authorization — one or more aides may have outright signed his signature on certain pardons and commutations.

Could the inconsistencies be a symptom of Biden’s cognitive decline? Perhaps. But the variations in his signature may point to something even more troubling: deliberate forgery.

This could be huge because it tells us that staffers were confident Biden was out of it to the extent that they could get away with actual forgery, not just abuse of the autopen.

That’s frightening.

I’m sure they did use the autopen, but all they have to do is get him to say he authorized it, I would think? He wouldn’t remember, and couldn’t care less, but I’m sure he’ll lie anyway.

You are probably right, Liz.

From the linked article:

In a particularly shocking entry in the new book, Allen and Parnes explain that Biden actually had to be led around and directed where to walk by placing neon-colored pieces of tape on the floor.

The former President attended a donors’ reception hosted by Phil Murphy, governor of New Jersey, where aides lined the carpet with fluorescent “colorful bread crumbs that showed the leader of the free world where to walk”.

The Commander-in-Chief had to be left little colorful treats to navigate. Like a decently trained dog.

“He knows to look for that,” one aide said, according to The Guardian.

Good boy.

Biden’s time being used as a prop to cover for the Left who were in power was the worst disaster in American history - they did the maximum damage they possibly could while they had the chance.
But he also turned into their worst nightmare, creating a disaster of a situation for them as his senility rendered him impossible to prop up, and Kamala was unsellable.
Trump winning was the greatest triumph in American history, an incomparable experience!
But watching the Democrats implode on themselves in a disaster of their own making was a close second!
