Were the Biden signed with Autopen?

President Trump said there were “a lot” of sides issued by Joe Biden because the former president signed them “Autopen” – a device that recreates a person’s signature – rather than manually.

Trump did not submit evidence of his claim – which was posted on the truth.

The BBC Verify found several copies that sign the sides, not the autope.

And the US government documents have the same presidential signature when they are stored in the Federal Register – the digital archive – and it happened both in Trump and Biden.

Legal experts also told us that there is nothing in the US that does not recognize the sides signed by Autopen.

On the truth social, Trump said it said:

Trump did not specify what sides he meant, but earlier he called the Committee on the House of Representatives, which investigates the riot on January 6 as a “elected committee”, and criticized Biden for pardoning family members.

The BBC Verify looked at Biden’s official photos in the White House and those who posted the official White House X and found a number of examples he signed by hand.

In October 2022, Biden was drawn to sign the order Pardon of those in prison for marijuana storage.

In the same year, He also signed a pardon for non -violent violators.

It is unknown whether Biden signed any sides using only Autopen.

Last May, CNN said he signed the bill For the uniform expansion of federal aviation financing using Autopen.

The BBC Verify asked Biden’s office to use Autopen and the White House for the proof behind Trump’s requirements.

It seems Trump has took its sign from the Supervision Project .

We asked the heritage fund for her work. He previously emphasized other Biden’s documents, which he said had signatures Autopen, as well as screenshots taken from the Federal Register.

The register is the official, daily publication of different presidential and other state documents – having a standard signature created from one sample.

A spokeswoman for the National Archives told a check on the facts that: “At the beginning of each administration, the White House sends a signs of the president to the Federal Register, which uses it to create a graphic image for all presidential documents published in the Federal Register”

We considered the presidential documents that were storked by the Federal Register as part of Trump’s administrations and found the same signatures in the documents.

Here comes in Trump’s sides for riots January 6.

Trump has already signed these pardons by hand, As shown in this video in January.

The legal experts we talked to us told us that there is nothing in the US, stating that the official documents signed by the US presidents are not legally mandatory if they signed up with Autopen.

Andrew Moran, Professor of the University of London Politics, says previous presidents used Autopen earlier.

“As for the lower -level importance documents, it is not unusual for the use of autopyan.

“But I might think that with something as serious as Biden’s pardon would actually sign it (manually),” he said.

A memo from the Ministry of Justice in 2005 during the Bush administration He stated that the president does not need to physically sign the bill on becoming a law.

“The President can sign the bill on the value of the article I, Section 7, sending the subordinate to secure the president’s signature to such a bill, such as Autopen,” the statement said.

Although George W. Bush did not use Autopen himself, President Obama used it in 2011.

Autopen was also used by previous presidents, including JFK and Harry Truman.

Professor Erin Delani, Director of the Global Democratic Constitutional Center in UCL, says Trump’s attempt to cancel Biden’s sides will be a “violation of unwritten constitutional norms”.

Critically, he will not be able to engage in this action without persecution and not rethink people who have received immunity, she claims.

Legally displacing Biden’s sides of the Autopen, other aspects of US management that use automatic signatures such as bills passed by Congress and signed to the President’s law, she added.

Professor Moran says the president, who abolishes the pardon of his predecessor, is very rare.

“Historically, the only example I know is at the end of the presidency of Andrew Johnson in the 1860s, when he issued several sides that were recalled before they were accepted. But this is a very small number.

“If he (Trump) decides that he wants to follow the people who were pardoned, it will be in the courts, and then it will become a point if the Constitution is really checked,” he said.
