Anon reflecting on the Biden autopen news… Now does it make sense why POTUS (Trump) makes a point of televising and recording all of his Executive Order and Pardon signings? Going as far as to hand sign them with a big, beautiful marker pen and then present them fully splayed, panning them across the Oval Office so that anyone in the press can take pics/video for scrutiny/verification?

Almost as if he knew this Biden news was coming, and he wanted to show the World how the Executive Office properly and legally wields the power of the Pen.

TL;DR: He’s showing normies how to properly/legally execute an Executive Order/Pardon.

Trump Should Ignore A Supreme Court That Won’t Defend The Constitution A thought: If the 'lower' courts find that the Executive taking action within the Executive branch is unConstitutional because the agency is established by Congress, \\into\\ the Executive branch that means, according to the separation of powers doctrine, that Congress -establishing an Executive agency that is not accountable to the Executive- is an unConstitutional Agency at the start? My understanding is that Congress can direct the Executive to establish an Agency for their legislative ends but it cannot tell the Executive to appoint and/or hire who to administer the Agency or how its internal structure >>shall<<, be arranged and located. I think the proper thing to do is to claim the higher ground here and restructure (RIF) the Agencies and relocate them.
