... What if he didn't really change"what if the bureaucrats changed him? That's the puzzle piece America and the Trump administration are examining right now. Biden's hard turn left after taking office arrived without an external shock. Which invites a different reading, one that might sound cynical in any other era. Maybe the shift that began with a stack of pardon certificates wasn't evolution. Maybe it was a revolution by the people who held the pen

FTA:

" Lyndon Johnson used the autopen 40 times for substantive documents"under 1% of his total output. Ronald Reagan, 120 (2%). George H. W. Bush, 80 (1.5%). Barack Obama, 2011"2014, 300 (3%), including the Deauville Patriot Act episode"with his explicit direction.
Joseph R. Biden, 2021"2024: more than 1,400 substantive autopen executions, constituting ~60% after July 2022"and zero presidential logins thereafter. In a courtroom, that's not ceremony. It looks like usurpation."

I'm a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Alexandrite. I easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.

"On March 4, 1789, the new government opened under a Constitution born of pens. The framers were called signers for a reason: men who tied their names to acts so the public could associate the will to sign with the law."

Thomas Jefferson INVENTED the autopen

That's not what that means, and it doesn't relate to autoPen.

AutoPen should be little different than DocUSign.

There needs to be verification the President had the intent to sign the document, and it needs to be recorded.

This has nothing to do with Biden, no expofacto crap, just going forward
