President Trump has announced that he is revoking all executive orders signed into law by President Biden using an autopen, effectively cancelling any actions taken by Biden's administration that were executed with the aid of this signing tool.
The move comes as part of a long-standing feud between the two men, who have repeatedly clashed over their differing views on various policies and Trump's claims that Biden used the autopen to bypass proper protocol. In June, Trump had accused Biden aides of using the autopen for "radical" policies and ordered an investigation into Biden's mental state at the time.
However, the Justice Department has stated that the use of an autopen is a lawful practice for signing bills into law. Trump has used the tool himself in some cases, but only for minor matters, while criticizing its use for pardons.
It remains unclear which specific orders Trump is targeting with this move and how he plans to implement it. The White House has been contacted for further information, but so far, no additional details have been made available.
