Shocking revelations from energy watchdog Power the Future indicate President Biden may never have known about or personally approved eight major climate executive orders bearing his signature, suggesting an unprecedented power grab by unelected officials controlling White House climate policy.
Key Takeaways
- Power the Future has discovered that at least eight major climate-related executive orders lack evidence of Biden’s personal knowledge or approval despite bearing his signature
- These executive orders fundamentally transformed American energy policy, including Arctic drilling bans and net-zero emissions mandates
- The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project found most documents signed by Biden had identical autopen signatures, raising serious constitutional questions
- House Speaker Mike Johnson has claimed Biden was unaware of signing an executive order pausing LNG exports
- Power the Future is demanding investigations by federal agencies and congressional committees to identify who was actually making these policy decisions
Unelected Officials May Have Hijacked Biden’s Climate Policy
A bombshell report from energy advocacy group Power the Future has uncovered disturbing evidence suggesting President Joe Biden may never have been aware of, let alone approved, at least eight major executive orders on climate policy that bear his signature. These executive actions, which drastically reshaped American energy policy by restricting domestic energy production and implementing radical green agenda items, appear to have been authorized without the President’s direct involvement or public acknowledgment, raising serious constitutional and legal questions about who is actually running the federal government.
Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power the Future, has documented a pattern in which Biden never publicly commented on or acknowledged these significant policy shifts despite their enormous economic consequences. The executive orders in question include bans on offshore and Arctic drilling, directives on clean energy development, and commitments to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 – all foundational changes to national energy policy that would normally warrant presidential statements or ceremonies.
“These are not obscure bureaucratic memos; these were foundational shifts in American energy policy, yet not once did Joe Biden speak about them publicly,” said Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power the Future.
The Autopen Conspiracy
The investigation into Biden’s signatures gained significant momentum when the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project conducted an analysis concluding that most documents signed by Biden contained identical autopen signatures. This disturbing finding suggests systematic use of mechanical or electronic signature duplication, potentially without the President’s direct authorization. The only document found to have a clearly different signature was Biden’s letter announcing the end of his reelection campaign, raising additional questions about the authenticity of presidential approvals on official documents.
The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project bluntly concluded that “Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency.” This alarming assessment suggests that unelected staff members or bureaucrats may have wielded extraordinary power in directing federal policy without proper constitutional authorization. Former President Trump had previously raised concerns about Biden’s use of the autopen, specifically questioning whether Biden had personally authorized certain border policy changes.
“During the Biden administration, hundreds of billions of dollars were funneled towards pet green projects, while the American fossil fuels industry was punished, and there is no evidence that Biden ordered it, directed it, or was even aware it was happening in his name,” said Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future.
Legal Implications and Investigation Demands
While the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel issued a memorandum in 2005 stating that a president could theoretically use an autopen to sign legislation, the current situation appears far more concerning. The issue isn’t merely about the mechanical method of applying a signature but rather whether Biden was even informed about or approved the content of these executive orders. Speaker Mike Johnson has directly claimed that Biden was unaware of signing an executive order pausing LNG exports, providing further credibility to concerns about decision-making processes within the administration.
Power the Future has taken formal action by sending letters to several federal agencies and congressional committees demanding thorough investigations into who actually authorized these executive actions. The letters specifically request information about who drafted, approved, and presented these orders for signature, as well as whether Biden was briefed on their contents. The organization is calling on the Department of Justice, Department of Energy, and relevant congressional oversight committees to determine if these orders should be considered legally valid given the questions surrounding their authorization.
“Despite their massive consequences for American energy producers, workers, and consumers, President Biden made no public comment, on camera or to press, about any of these actions,” stated Power the Future in their report.
