Former President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Friday that he intends to revoke all executive orders he claims were signed by President Joe Biden using an autopen, which Trump asserts accounts for approximately 92% of Biden’s orders.
Trump’s declaration follows his earlier call for an investigation into Biden’s use of the autopen—a machine that automates signatures. This tool has been noted as a common practice in American presidential history, but Trump has questioned its legitimacy in the context of Biden’s presidency.
In his post, Trump stated, “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.” He emphasized that the autopen should not be used without the explicit approval of the sitting President. Trump characterized Biden’s operational team as “Radical Left Lunatics” and suggested that Biden was not directly involved in the signing process, threatening legal action for perjury if Biden claims otherwise.
As a developing story, Newsweek has reached out to the White House for comments and will provide updates as more information emerges. This action has the potential to ignite further controversy regarding executive authority and the legitimacy of presidential actions during Biden’s term.
