Chairman Comer said the evidence his probe has uncovered could lead to questions about the validity of Joe Biden’s pardons, executive orders.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says his investigation into Joe Biden's mental decline as president could be used as evidence to overturn some of his pardons or executive orders because his senior staff have failed to prove he knew what he was signing amid accusations of mental decline.
“It's questionable whether or not it's legal to use an autopen on a legal document, but what's not questionable is if the President of the United States had no idea what was being signed with using the autopen in his name,” Comer told the Just the News, No Noise TV show on Friday. “Then, you know, that's not legal.”
Comer, a Kentucky Republican, said he believes the evidence his investigation uncovers can be used to also call into question the validity of some of the former president’s clemency acts, especially after the disastrous summer 2024 presidential debate in which Biden’s poor performance gave rise to questions about his mental capacity.
“I think at the end of the day, our investigation … could be used as evidence in trying to overturn some of those pardons and some of the executive orders, because the autopen was used so frequently … after that debate,” said Comer.
Former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz told Just the News in March that challenges to Biden’s autopen use would certainly end up before the courts.
"They will end up in court, and there are going to be two issues. One, the nature of what was signed – was it a pardon, or was it a bill from Congress, for example. And second, the nature of the..."

Do FAUCI first.
That murderer needs to hang for his crimes against humanity
Watching & waiting.
Do Schiff first, that insidious prick needs to spend the next 50 years in prison.
Fauci will meet his maker soon enough, and it won’t be to his liking
Folks can fuss all they want. But Biden’s pardons can only be overturned by the Supreme Court. And absent any crazy new evidence, that just ain’t gonna happen
Ah, now about Fauci. He has a pardon from Biden. But that covers only federal crimes. I would love to see some clever state attorney general go after Fauci for state crimes.
Because pushing what Fauci pushed has to be a state crime as well.
Fauci needs to be treated like he treated the poor Beagles.
and yes I would watch on pay per view.
This is obviously a National Security issue. If waterboarding is necessary, so be it. The truth will set us free.
“No one is above the law.”
AUTO PEN SCANDAL
If one has a pardon they can be required to testify about the crime(s) they were pardoned for, truthfully. If they lie while testifying, they can be prosecuted. If the pardons are invalidated, they can use the 5th amendment. If the pardons may be invalidated, they probably have a case to refuse to testify.
“I would watch on pay per view.”
And I would bring the popcorn.
At this pace they’ll have their investigations done before the Biden white house staff dies of old age.
“could, wants, may, might…”
It’s the same wishful thinking Democrats toyed with after Trump left office the first time.
There’s nothing in the Constitution about reversing a presidential pardon or clemency. The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over pardons, nor does Congress.
