Are Biden’s AutoPen Signatures Valid?

Don’t let the autopen confuse the issue. It would be no different if they had used a signature rubber stamp.

Apparently, with a few exceptions, during his four years in the White House Joe Biden’s signature was placed on laws, executive orders, pardons, commissions, and maybe foreign obligations, all using an autopen. In other words, though Biden’s “signature” appears on numerous documents, he really never signed hardly anything. A machine, known as an autopen, signed everything in his name. There’s good reason to believe that Biden didn’t even know what was being signed by his staff in his name. Congress loves autopens. They use them to sign letters to their constituents so that the recipients think their Senators or Representatives really cares enough to respond personally, while the truth is that some rather lowly staff person prepared a response and signed the letter using an autopen.

President Trump has said he considers the pardons given by Joe Biden to members of the “Jan. 6th” Committee and to others to be void.

Trump Orders an End to “Birthright Citizenship.” A Federal Judge calls the Order “Blatantly Unconstitutional.”

The legal issue turns on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause’s proviso, “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

President Trump’s Executive Order states that children born on U.S. soil to women who are (1) unlawfully present in the United States or (2) temporarily authorized to be here, such as under a tourist visa or a student visa, and (3) (in both cases) whose father was not a United States citizen, do not automatically receive U.S. Citizenship by virtue of being born on our soil. In signing the Executive Order, Mr. Trump stated that the United States was the only country in the world to award citizenship to anyone who happens to be born within its borders.

Does the Constitution Require “Birthright Citizenship”?

The Constitutional clause is open to interpretation — there is no settled answer — and it is possible that Birthright Citizenship is not required.

The United States grants “birthright citizenship,” bestowing automatic citizenship to every baby born on American soil. This practice is derived from ambiguous language in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, one of several post-Civil War amendments written to end all the remnants of slavery.

Deportations and the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause

The Deportations have begun, and some bad hombres have been sent home, but Dems voice opposition. The law’s on Trump’s side.

Democrat leaders — mayors, governors, even school district board members — continue to resist President Trump’s program to deport millions of illegal aliens.

President Trump made deportation one of his most significant campaign promises, telling audiences all over the country that he would implement the largest deportation effort in history. His promise to begin deportations on Day One won support and applause, and likely was one of the issues that propelled his campaign to Election Day success.

“On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” Trump told a huge audience at Madison Square Garden. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.”
