Evidence reveals Biden’s presidency may have been controlled by whoever operated his autopen, as identical machine-generated signatures appear on virtually all executive orders except his withdrawal from the 2024 race.
Key Takeaways
- The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project discovered Biden’s identical autopen signatures on numerous executive orders, raising questions about who was actually in control of the White House
- Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has called for a DOJ investigation to determine if Biden’s cognitive decline allowed staff to implement policies without his knowledge
- House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed Biden once denied signing an executive order on energy exports when confronted about it
- Multiple media outlets including Fox News Digital, DailyMail.com, and the New York Post found the same signature on over 25 executive orders between 2021-2025
- The only document that appears to contain Biden’s authentic signature was his letter withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race
Shadow Government Concerns Emerge
A bombshell investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has uncovered that former President Joe Biden used an identical machine-generated signature on virtually all official White House documents, raising serious questions about who was actually running the country during his administration. The extensive analysis shows the same perfectly consistent autopen signature appeared on executive orders, proclamations, and other official documents throughout Biden’s term, a pattern that suggests the president may not have been aware of or involved in critical policy decisions bearing his name.
The Oversight Project’s findings were stark and unambiguous: “Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency.” This alarming conclusion suggests that unelected staff members potentially wielded extraordinary power, implementing policies and directives without proper presidential oversight or authorization. The implications are profound, as they call into question the legitimacy of countless executive actions taken during the Biden administration.
For investigators to determine whether then-President Biden actually ordered the signature of relevant legal documents, or if he even had the mental capacity to, they must first determine who controlled the autopen and what checks there were in place.

Evidence of Presidential Detachment
Perhaps the most damning evidence of Biden’s disconnection from his own administration’s actions comes from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who recounted a troubling conversation with the former president. According to Johnson, when confronted about an executive order restricting energy exports, Biden flatly denied signing it, stating “I didn’t do that.” This revelation suggests Biden may have been completely unaware of consequential policy decisions being implemented in his name, reinforcing concerns about his mental acuity and the power structure within his White House.
“I am demanding the DOJ investigate whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Andrew Bailey said.
Independent media investigations have supported the Oversight Project’s findings. DailyMail.com identified the same signature on over 25 Biden executive orders from 2021 to 2025. Fox News Digital similarly found more than 20 executive orders bearing identical signatures. These included major policy directives on abortion access and a 2024 order closing government offices to honor Jimmy Carter. The consistency of these signatures is particularly troubling, as natural handwritten signatures typically show slight variations, even from the same person.
The Revealing Exceptions
While the majority of Biden’s signatures were machine-generated, investigators found notable exceptions that only heightened concerns. The letter announcing Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race bore what appears to be his authentic signature, markedly different from the autopen version used on official documents. Similarly, Heritage attorney Samuel Dewey noted another likely authentic signature appeared on the controversial pardon of Hunter Biden, described as “shaky” compared to the perfect autopen version.
“For investigators to determine whether then-President Biden actually ordered the signature of relevant legal documents, or if he even had the mental capacity to, they must first determine who controlled the autopen and what checks were in place,” the Oversight Project said.
The use of autopen technology itself isn’t unprecedented in presidential administrations. Presidents from Harry Truman onward have employed mechanical signature reproduction for certain documents. However, the extent of Biden’s autopen use appears unusually comprehensive. While George W. Bush reportedly avoided autopen use due to potential legal challenges, and Barack Obama employed it selectively, Biden’s administration seems to have made it standard practice for virtually all official documents – a decision that now raises profound constitutional questions.
Legal and Constitutional Questions
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has taken the lead in demanding accountability, calling for a Department of Justice investigation to determine whether Biden’s cognitive decline was exploited by staff members pushing radical policies without his informed consent. Bailey maintains that if Biden was indeed manipulated or kept in the dark about documents bearing his signature, those orders would be “null and void” – potentially invalidating years of executive actions that shaped American policy.
The special counsel’s description of Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” takes on more troubling dimensions in light of the autopen revelations. His frequent public gaffes, including mishaps with former President Obama and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, were visible manifestations of cognitive issues that may have been even more pronounced behind closed doors. The question now becomes not just whether Biden was fit for office, but whether he was actually exercising the powers of the presidency at all.
“I am demanding the DOJ investigate whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” wrote Andrew Bailey.
Despite the gravity of these findings, Biden’s office has remained tellingly silent, offering no comment on the extensive autopen evidence. This silence only fuels speculation about a shadow government that may have operated behind the facade of Biden’s presidency, implementing an agenda with potentially minimal input from the president himself. For Americans already frustrated with government overreach and lack of transparency, these revelations represent a constitutional crisis that demands thorough investigation and accountability.
