Was Biden pardoned with the automated pilot?

President Trump said that “many amnesty” issued by Joe Biden is invalid because the former president signed them with the “automated pilot” – a device that reproduces the person’s signature – not by hand.

Trump did not provide evidence of his claim – which was published on the social truth.

BBC Verify has found many Biden’s hand signing cases instead of the automated pilot.

A presidential signature sample is used on US government documents when stored in the federal registry – digital archive. This was the case during Trump’s era as well as under Biden.

Legal experts also told us that there is nothing in American law that would nullify the signed pardon by the automated pilot.

On the social truth, Trump said thatThe “Pardon” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the unprecedented committee of the political thugs, and many others, was announced by this void, vacant, and the lack of force or additional effect, due to the fact that they were done by the automated pilot. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign, but more importantly, he does not know anything about them! “.

Trump did not specify the amnesty that he was referring to, but he previously referred to a selected committee of the House of Representatives investigating the riots on January 6 as the “unrelated committee”, and Biden criticized for a pardon for family members.

The BBC looked at the official photos of Biden at the White House and that published on the official White House account and found a number of examples of signing the pardon by hand.

In October 2022, Biden was photographed as a request Seneous those in prison to possess marijuana.

In the same year, The pardon also occurred For non -violent perpetrators.

It is not known whether Biden has occurred only any torment using the automated pilot.

In May last year, CNN reported that it had signed a draft law To get one week’s extension to finance federal aviation using the automated pilot.

The BBC asked to check the Biden office his record of using the automated pilot and the White House for evidence behind Trump’s claim.

It seems that Trump has Take a braid from the supervision project – Part of Think Tank conservative The Heritage Foundation – which claimed that Biden’s 19 January pardon – for some family members and political figures including Anthony Fushi – they had the same signature of the automated pilot.

We have asked the Heritage Foundation for its work. Previously, Biden’s other documents that they say were the signatures of the automated pilot, along with screenshots taken from the federal registry.

The record is the daily official publication of various presidential and other documents – all of which contain a standard signature created from one sample.

“At the beginning of each administration, the White House sends a sample from the president’s signature to the federal registry, which he uses to create a graphic image of all presidential documents published in the federal registry,” said the national archives spokesman for the Snops website, which studies the facts.

We discussed through the presidential documents headed by the federal registry under the Trump administrations, and we found identical signatures on the documents.

This includes Trump pardon For January 6 riot.

Trump had already made this pardon by hand, As this video was shown in January.

The presidential amnesty is also published by the US Department of Justice. We asked this how these documents are archived.

Legal experts who spoke to us told us that there is nothing in the law that says the official documents signed by American presidents – including pardon – are not legally binding if they are signed with the automated pilot.

Andrew Moran, a professor of policy at the University of London Metropolitan, says that former presidents had used the automated pilot before.

“On documents of low importance, it is not unusual to use an autopsy.

“But I thought that with a dangerous thing like pardoning Biden, he would have already signed (by hand),” he said.

Memorandum 2005 from the Ministry of Justice during the Bush administration He stated that the president does not have to sign a bodily bill to become a law.

The memo said: “The president may sign a draft law in the meaning of the first article, Section 7 by directing a subordinate to meet the President’s signature on such a law, for example by the autopsy.”

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

The automated pilot was also used by former presidents including JFK and Harry Truman.

Professor Irene Dylani, Director of the World Democratic Constitutional Center at the University of California, says Trump’s attempt to cancel Biden’s amnesty will be “a violation of unwritten constitutional standards.”

Decisively, he will not be able to follow this procedure without prosecuting, or reformulate the individuals who have obtained immunity, she says.

She added that the amnesty, which is legally challenged by Biden due to the formation of American governance aspects that use automatic signatures, such as bills approved by Congress and their signature in law by the president.

Professor Moran says that the president who cancels his amnesty is very rare.

“Historically, the only example he realized is at the end of Andrew Johnson’s presidency in the 1960s, when he issued some pardon that was canceled before accepting them. But this is a very small number.

“If (Trump) decides that he wants to follow the people who have been pardoned, the matter will end in the courts and after that this will become the point where the constitution is truly tested,” he said.
