Part 8/18:
The Biden autopen scandal emerges as a significant controversy: allegations that hundreds of pardons by Biden were signed using autopen devices, raising questions about presidential authority and delegation. Experts debate whether such delegation is legally valid, with some emphasizing that pardons are explicitly within the President's constitutional powers and that delegating their signing doesn't necessarily imply wrongdoing—provided proper procedures are followed.
The discussion reflects broader concerns about governmental transparency, accountability, and the weaponization of legal processes for political ends. The debate underscores the necessity of clarity—whether Biden authorized all pardons or not—and warns that politicized legal battles could deepen polarization.
