Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is “terminating” all documents, including pardons, that he said his predecessor Joe Biden signed using an autopen – an unprecedented attempt to roll back a previous president’s actions using what legal thinkers view as a flimsy pretext.
The autopen is a device used to replicate a person’s signature with precision, typically for high-volume or ceremonial documents. It has been employed by presidents of both major parties to sign letters and proclamations.
