The White House lawyer’s office is investigating the use by Biden of an automatic, a machine that physically holds a pen and has programming to imitate a person’s signature. Unlike a stamp or a digitized printing of a signature, the autopen has the capacity to contain various types of pens, from a ball point to a permanent marker, according to the descriptions of the autopen machines available for purchase.

Biden used an autopen to sign a multitude of documents during his mandate. He also used an autopen to sign final pardons, including preventive pardons for family members, Dr Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley and the members and staff of the Chamber Committee investigating the riots of January 6, 2021, Capitol. He signed only one forgiveness in his hand, for his son Hunter, after having walked to the American people for months, he would not forgive the hunter.
