Were these actions taken on behalf of the president and purporting to execute his authority undertaken with the president’s knowledge and approach? It appears incumbent upon Congress to inquire, about all parties involved in these actions, who instructed them to do what, when." > As we've noted before, presidents can legally use autopens to sign documents, making challenges to Biden's pardons extremely unlikely to succeed in court, according to constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley. That said, what differentiates Biden's autopen usage from others is, of course, the legitimate questions about whether he was aware of the executive orders and pardons that were signed with the device.
