This unprecedented request aims to challenge Biden&#8217;s executive orders and pardons, with implications that could undermine thousands of his decisions. Teh investigation arises amid meaningful controversies,including Biden&#8217;s late-term pardons and concerns over his mental competency when making these decisions. A recent memo highlights the critical nature of presidential signatures in governance and suggests that Biden&#8217;s aides potentially concealed his mental state, influencing his capacity to sign critically important documents.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation will assess whether Biden&#8217;s executive actions were legitimately executed given his alleged cognitive issues, notably in light of reports indicating a deliberate effort to restrict Biden&#8217;s public engagements and media interactions to mask these concerns. Biden has publicly defended his cognitive abilities, asserting obligation for the decisions made during his presidency. Nonetheless, the critiques and accusations raise serious questions about the integrity of executive power under his governance, especially relating to the use of the autopen-a device that automates signing documents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump called late Wednesday for an investigation into former President Joe Biden&rsquo;s cognitive decline, including into executive orders and other actions signed via autopen during his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>The move, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/06\/04\/trump-biden-investigate-cover-up-decline-autopen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a> noted, is &ldquo;an unprecedented request that in theory could undermine thousands of Biden&rsquo;s executive actions and pardons.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, it comes amid an unprecedented number of pardons and commutations late in Biden&rsquo;s term &mdash;

The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden&rsquo;s signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The order went on to note that recent expos&eacute;s of Biden&rsquo;s state in his late presidency evinced &ldquo;serious cognitive decline.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice refused to charge Biden for retention of classified material <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/audio-damning-2023-biden-cover-exposed-stunning-cognitive-collapse-caught-tape\/\">based on his apparent inability<\/a> to remember even basic details of the timeline of events regarding the deployment and death of his late son, the 2016 election, and his departure from the vice presidency in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The order also seemed to nod toward a recent book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-post-debate-meltdown-detailed-new-book-doesnt-treat-like-d-vice-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Original Sin<\/a>,&rdquo; which alleged that a &ldquo;politburo&rdquo; of close aides shielded the then-president from facing situations where his decline would be apparent.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Biden&rsquo;s advisors during his years in office severely restricted his news conferences and media appearances, and they scripted his conversations with lawmakers, government officials, and donors, all to cover up his inability to discharge his duties,&rdquo; the order read.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Notwithstanding these well-documented issues, the White House issued over 1,200 Presidential documents, appointed 235 judges to the Federal bench, and issued more pardons and commutations than any administration in United States history,&rdquo; it noted. &ldquo;For instance, just 2 days before Christmas in 2024, the White House announced that Biden commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 most vile and monstrous criminals on Federal death row, including several child killers and mass murderers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, both the U.S. attorney general and presidential counsel &ldquo;shall investigate, to the extent permitted by law, whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden&rsquo;s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This includes &ldquo;Biden&rsquo;s supposed execution of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/record-number-of-illegal-immigrants-pour-across-us-mexico-border\/\" title=\"Unprecedented surge of illegal immigrants crossing US\u2013Mexico border.\">numerous executive actions<\/a> during his final years in office &hellip; the policy documents for which the autopen was used, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-orders-vast-doj-investigation-into-biden-health-cover-up\/\" title=\"Trump orders vast DOJ ... into Biden health cover-up\">including clemency grants<\/a>, Executive Orders, Presidential memoranda, or other Presidential policy decisions; and who directed that the President&rsquo;s signature be affixed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;autopen&rdquo; is the name for a device that has been used, in various guises, in the White House since Harry Truman&rsquo;s administration, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/president-obamas-autopen-when-is-an-autograph-not-an-autograph-574822\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smithsonian Magazine<\/a> noted, although its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/murkowski-rushes-to-defense-of-federal-workers-in-rebuke-of-musk-backed-email-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Murkowski rushes to defense of federal workers in rebuke of Musk-backed email - Washington Examiner\">existence wasn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t acknowledged until Gerald Ford&rsquo;s presidency and it wasn&rsquo;t used to sign legislation until Barack Obama did that in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Broadly speaking, it uses mechanical means to affix the president&rsquo;s signature in real ink using a duplicate file. By the time of Obama&rsquo;s administration, the device had been upgraded to digital form and could &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >store multiple signature files digitally<\/a> on a SD card, meaning that a single device can reproduce everything from John Hancock&rsquo;s John Hancock to Barack Obama&rsquo;s.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, the Department of Justice&rsquo;s Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion that autopen signatures on executive actions and legislation would be acceptable inasmuch as the president does not need to personally sign every document himself for it to be legally valid. However, that opinion did not address whether or not the president was incapacitated.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation comes on the heels of a particularly bad month for the former president and those around him in terms of news related to his mental and physical faculties while in office.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before Tapper and Thompson&rsquo;s book revealed the full extent of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/5-damning-joe-biden-quotes-hur-interview-not-senility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">alleged<\/a> cover-up into Biden&rsquo;s cognitive decline, there was the president&rsquo;s announcement of a metastatic form of a slow-growing, easily detectable cancer in its late stages.<\/p>\n<p>This was quickly followed by allegations of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/senator-goes-public-secret-service-whistleblowers-appalling-revelation-biden-get-lost-closet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously unknown Secret Service whistleblower<\/a>, who reportedly told Missouri Republican Sen.

The Washington Post described this as &#8220;an unprecedented request&#8221; that could potentially challenge thousands of Biden&#8217;s executive actions and pardons. This call for inquiry arises during a time when Biden has issued a significant number of pardons and commutations, including one for his son Hunter, which is also seen as an unusual action for a sitting U.S. president. There are ongoing concerns about Biden&#8217;s mental competency at the time these decisions were made. A presidential memorandum released on Wednesday emphasized the immense power held by the President through their signature, stating that such signatures can create laws, appoint officials to high government positions, shape national policies, and grant freedom to prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>The memorandum further claimed that in recent months it has become evident that aides to former President Biden misused presidential signatures via autopen to hide his cognitive decline while asserting authority under Article II of the Constitution. It characterized this situation as one of the most alarming scandals in American history, suggesting that the public was deliberately kept unaware of who was truly exercising executive power while Biden&#8217;s signature appeared on numerous documents affecting major policy changes.<\/p>\n<p>The document pointed out recent revelations about Biden&#8217;s condition towards the end of his presidency indicating &#8220;serious cognitive decline.&#8221; It noted that the Department of Justice did not pursue charges against him regarding classified material retention due to apparent memory issues related to significant events from his past.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it referenced a book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson alleging that a close group of aides restricted media access for Biden and scripted interactions with lawmakers in order to conceal any signs of his declining capabilities. Despite these documented challenges, it highlighted how over 1,200 presidential documents were issued during this period along with numerous judicial appointments and more pardons than any previous administration.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, both the U.S. Attorney General and presidential counsel are tasked with investigating whether individuals conspired to mislead the public about Biden&#8217;s mental state or improperly exercised presidential powers during his final years in office.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;autopen&#8221; refers to a device used since Harry Truman&#8217;s presidency for signing documents; however its use wasn&#8217;t officially acknowledged until Gerald Ford&#8217;s era nor utilized for legislation until Barack Obama did so in 2011. The device mechanically reproduces real ink signatures based on stored files but does not require personal signing by the president each time according to legal opinions from 2005-though those opinions did not address potential incapacitation issues.<\/p>\n<p>This investigation follows troubling reports concerning both physical health issues faced by Biden recently as well as allegations from sources claiming he struggled with basic navigation within White House premises due to confusion-a situation raising doubts about his ability fulfill executive responsibilities effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In response late Wednesday regarding claims surrounding autopen usage during decision-making processes throughout his presidency,Biden asserted: &#8220;Let me be clear: I made all decisions while serving as president,&#8221; emphasizing ownership over pardons ,executive orders ,legislation ,and proclamations amidst suggestions otherwise being &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; or &#8220;false.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2443256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Biden-Outdoor-Desk.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[51873,3620,3976,56589,3634],"class_list":["post-2443255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-autopen","tag-biden","tag-investigation","tag-presidential-decline","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Biden-Outdoor-Desk.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2443255"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2443260,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443255\/revisions\/2443260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2443256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2443255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2443255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2443255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
