Why Trump Can’t ‘Void’ Biden’s Pardons Because of Autopen Politics Donald Trump Solcyré Burga by Solcyré Burga Burga is a general assignment reporter at TIME. Trump Justice President Donald Trump speaks at the Justice Department in Washington, Friday, March 14, 2025.Pool via AP On Monday, President Donald Trump signaled that he intends to nullify the presidential pardons—issued to those on the House Jan. 6 committee that investigated Trump—executed by President Joe Biden because, he said, they were signed via autopen. “The 'Pardons' that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” the President shared on his social media platform Truth Social. “In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden.” Advertisement But according to the U.S. Constitution, the President has no such authority to overturn his predecessor’s pardons, especially not based on the type of signature, legal experts say. “The Constitution doesn't even require that the pardon be written, so the idea that the signature is by autopen rather than by handwritten signature seems not relevant to the constitutionality because Article II just says that the President has the power to pardon,” says Bernadette Meyler, a Stanford Law School professor and constitutional law expert. Autopen is an electronic signature that allows individuals to sign a document without physically being there. The signature mimics a handwritten signature, but is done by a computer. A vast number of statutes and other documents have been signed by autopen, experts say. For instance, former President Barack Obama signed a national security measure via autopen while he was in France. Meyler says that if presidential pardons were to be invalidated because of an autopen signature, that could bring into question other policies that were signed by such measures. “When so much is being automated and put online, requiring some literalness in the signature really would be a step backwards," she says. A 2005 guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) noted that a President does not need to “personally perform the physical act of affixing his signature to a bill he approves and decides to sign in order for the bill to become law. Rather, the President may sign a bill within the meaning of Article I, Section 7 by directing a subordinate to affix the President’s signature to such a bill, for example by autopen.” Jeffrey Crouch, a professor at American University, told Axios that pardons are final so long as they are valid. But aside from criticizing the use of the autopen, Trump also appears to be undermining President Biden’s cognitive ability at the time such pardons were issued. “He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump wrote on Monday. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed this position during a White House briefing on Monday, when she questioned whether Biden knew his signature was on such pardons. When asked if the White House had any evidence to support such a claim, Leavitt responded, “You're a reporter, you should find out.” Advertisement AD These concerns were previously flagged by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who called on the DOJ to investigate Biden’s actions on March 5. “I am demanding the DOJ investigate whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Bailey posted on X. If Trump were to try to prosecute someone who received a presidential pardon, experts say the case would likely go to courts, where Trump’s actions are unlikely to stand. “I can't imagine the court saying that it wasn't a valid pardon because of the autopen issue,” says Meyler. “Biden made statements regarding these pardons, so it would be hard to show that they weren't a decision of the President.” |

The claim that Osama bin Laden was "created" by the United States is a simplification and misinterpretation of historical events. It's important to understand the context and nuances of the situation: Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989): During this period, the United States, along with other countries, provided support to Afghan mujahideen groups who were fighting against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. This support was part of the broader Cold War strategy of the U.S. to counter Soviet influence. Osama bin Laden's Role: Osama bin Laden, a Saudi national, came to Afghanistan to support the Afghan resistance against the Soviets. He was one of many foreign fighters who joined the cause. Bin Laden used his wealth to help finance and support the mujahideen. U.S. Involvement: The United States, primarily through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), provided financial support, weapons, and training to the Afghan mujahideen. However, there is no concrete evidence that the CIA directly supported bin Laden or his organization, Al-Qaeda. Formation of Al-Qaeda: After the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, bin Laden founded Al-Qaeda, which was not a direct continuation of the mujahideen but a new organization with a broader jihadist agenda, including opposition to the United States. In summary, while it's true that the U.S. supported Afghan resistance groups against the Soviets, which indirectly created an environment where individuals like Osama bin Laden could gain prominence and experience, it is not accurate to say that the U.S. directly "created" Osama bin Laden or his organization, Al-Qaeda. The historical relationship is more complex and involves various factors and actors beyond U.S. support. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/CIA-Al-Qaeda-Osama-Laden-Agent/dp/B086PYTZ7Q&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiosOiousSDAxUcRPEDHXiGCvUQFnoECAYQAg&usg=AOvVaw3Vzn4qzngdV_uFFkd40Xed[/quote] |

Kayme:The Gold Coast, much like Lagos, is known for its high cost of living. In fact, some of its suburbs have resorted to converting their car garages into additional living spaces due to the exorbitant prices. This has resulted in a unique parking situation where cars are parked along the street, and an unwritten rule exists that one should not park in another person's designated spot, especially in the evening. However, despite the high cost of living in the Gold Coast, one can still opt to live in nearby towns and commute to work or study in the city. |
Niceguy06:It appears that the cost of living in Nigeria is significantly lower than that in the United States. The Consumer Prices in Nigeria are 58.7% lower than in the United States, without taking into account the cost of rent. This difference drops to 47.5% lower when rent is included. On average, the cost of living in Nigeria is 54% less expensive than in the United States. When broken down by category, the cost of living in Nigeria is generally cheaper than in the United States. For example, a single person's estimated monthly costs in Nigeria are $64.8 without rent, which is on average 59.1% lower than in the United States. Rent in Nigeria is also, on average, 28.1% lower than in the United States. |

Focusmind:The United States is providing subsidies to its manufacturing industries, making production costs cheaper than in other countries. This puts European companies at a disadvantage, potentially leading to a trade deficit and having a negative impact on the European economy. |

The reasons are many, actually. Imagine someone who is only coming to the church because he is trying to please people I.e. pastor, parents etc, once he gets abroad he may stop attending church automatically. Definitely, he is not a devoted Christian. Another thing is backsliding, because ease of life in abroad it is easy to forget son of whom you are. Tendency to feel belong in abroad is high. And for some, it is just a drive to make ends meet. For instance, students picking several shifts, especially on weekends, to pay for his tuition and other living expenses may forget about church. So when you look at the whole thing, it is all about your conviction. Moving from one country to another doesn't change whom God is. He is the same everywhere. Foreigners come to Lagos to seek God's intervention for the crises in their lives and families now. Nobody will force you to seek God when you get an issue that defy orthodox therapy. |
