The memorandum from President Donald J. Trump outlines an investigation into the actions taken during former President Joe Biden’s administration, specifically regarding the use of an autopen for signing executive documents. It raises questions about the decision-making process behind these signatures, particularly in light of concerns regarding Biden’s cognitive decline, which aides reportedly sought to conceal from the public. The investigation will explore whether there was a coordinated effort among Biden’s advisors to misrepresent his mental capacity and the validity of the executive actions taken in his name.

In the memorandum, it is noted that the President has significant authority to govern through executive actions, which include appointing officials and issuing pardons. However, the document claims that many of these actions were signed using a mechanical autopen rather than Biden’s own hand, particularly during a time when his cognitive abilities were reportedly declining. This situation raises legal questions about the legitimacy of these actions and the responsibilities of those who may have influenced Biden’s decisions.

The memorandum instructs the Counsel to the President to investigate various aspects of this situation, including any agreements among Biden’s aides to mislead the public about his health and the legitimacy of the autopen’s use. This inquiry aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding the executive actions taken during Biden’s presidency and to assess whether there was any unconstitutional exercise of presidential power. The investigation’s findings could have significant implications for the legality of Biden’s executive decisions.
