Using an autopen is fine, if the President is physically in the room and is using the autopen simply to avoid writer’s cramp or something. But it is completely unconstitutional and void if the President is somewhere else and some other person is using the autopen to sign his name, even if the President authorized that person to do so. The reason is obvious: Without the President in the room when the autopen is used, there is no way to verify that his signature is actually being used with his consent and permission. That’s the critical distinction that is being missed in most discussions about this.
You have hit the nail on its head.
There is report from DOGE that several WH staffers and/or former staffers received payouts of millions of dollars.
Is anyone else seeing the potential (likely) problem here?
