Biden autopen was put to regular use even when he was in DC

Former President Joe Biden relied on a mechanical autopen to sign official documents far more often and under more questionable circumstances than previously reported.

Biden used at least three different autopen signatures throughout his presidency to authorize executive actions, proclamations, and pardons, including in situations in which he was physically in Washington and actively signing other paperwork by hand, according to new revelations from the Oversight Project, a government watchdog formerly part of the Heritage Foundation.

“We pulled official presidential proclamations from the National Archives for the first two years of the Biden administration,” one of the Oversight Project’s lead investigators, Kyle Brosnan, told the Washington Examiner. “There’s around several hundred of them … and through that analysis, we were able to determine that there was a third autopen signature that was used to sign those proclamations” in early 2021, Brosnan said.

How was the third Biden signature discovered?

To date, Brosnan’s research team has identified three distinct signatures his watchdog believes have been used for signing documents throughout Biden’s single term in office. Previously, his team only identified two signature copies used throughout his term.
