I’m not even sure this exists as a legal mechanism.
I don’t know how he could possibly prove that someone, as he suggests in the post, got those documents signed without Joe Biden’s approval.
It’s just incomprehensible. It’s absurd. I don’t know how to parse this except as an emotive statement of intent.
We are heading straight into the cool zone because this simply cannot be maintained for four whole years.

Well if the next President is a Democrat they’ll (if they have a spine) just undo Trump’s pardons…

I heard a stat that Trump has “answered” 1,489 questions since Jan 20th while Biden answered 360 in his four years. We’re headed for a full on Dementia Don meltdown (the beginnings of). Unhinged.

This is legitimately terrifying coming from the U.S. president, but you know what this whole post is just hilarious

Signed with an autopen and therefore not valid…
Sounds like something a sovereign citizen contesting a traffic ticket would say

[Here’s](https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/03/13/biden-autopen-signature-documents/) a Snopes article that goes pretty deep into it, but the gist is that while presidents do often use autopens, Biden apparently went out of his way to avoid them most of the time; most of the examples the Heritage Foundation and Fox News dug up were just digital versions of documents generated by the National Archives using an image template signature. They were not scans of the original physical documents, and they did the same thing with lots of Trump’s orders as well.
Needless to say, this is not a legal basis for declaring the pardons null and void, not that he won’t try to do that anyway.

So that means we can prosecute of Trump‘s henchman once he’s out of office right since he’ll try to pardon them and it’ll be meaningless because of the same logic.

Realistically, if he tries to order the arrest of someone who has been pardoned, what happens?
