another free end-of-the-month link It’s Not the Autopen. It’s What We Don’t Know About Biden’s Last Days in Office. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/...e_code=1.xk8.3amc.zgmPghn3t_iy&smid=url-share excerpt: The House Oversight Committee, under its Republican chairman, James Comer, has been a citadel of so much partisan hackery that it’s tempting to dismiss its recent report on President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to grant pardons and commutations during his final days in office. But the 100-page report raises genuinely troubling questions about the way the late-stage Biden White House worked and, even more to the point, about the nature of the modern presidency. To be sure, much in the report reflects the political priorities of its Republican authors, who, like President Trump, want to disparage Mr. Biden as a ventriloquist’s dummy operated by his staff. Based on sworn interviews with close Biden advisers, the report chronicles the last year or so of the Biden presidency and strains to inflate ordinary White House staff work into criminal conspiracies. For example, the report describes a supposedly sinister effort by aides to manage the fallout from Mr. Biden’s disastrous debate with President Trump on June 27, 2024. But the Biden team was just doing its best, albeit for a futile cause, to save the president’s re-election campaign. A similar look at the labors of Ronald Reagan’s aides in the aftermath of his shambling performance in his first debate with Walter Mondale in 1984 would surely reveal a similar, and equally appropriate, picture. But it’s a different story with Mr. Biden’s last-minute acts of clemency to thousands of recipients, all granted by autopen. Presidents, including Mr. Trump, have employed autopens for decades. The practice probably started under Dwight Eisenhower, was first publicly acknowledged under Gerald Ford, and received the formal blessing of the Justice Department in 2005 under George W. Bush. In that year, a detailed and thoughtful opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice made the common-sense point that, in the modern world, the president “may sign a bill . . . by directing a subordinate to affix the president’s signature to such a bill, for example by autopen.” Crucially, though, the D.O.J. opinion states that the president may not delegate the decision of “whether” to sign a bill. And that’s the key question about the pardons: Did Mr. Biden actually authorize all the pardons that were processed by autopen? The Comer committee concluded that he did not. In an interview with The Times in July, Mr. Biden said he did approve all the pardons and authorized the use of the autopen to sign the documents. At a minimum, the committee report establishes that the White House process leading to these final pardon decisions was imperfect at best. The report reveals considerable chaos during Mr. Biden’s last days in office. In part, this was due to the president’s dubious decision to follow several recent predecessors by jamming through controversial pardons at the very end of his term, in hopes of avoiding political accountability. As with similar last-minute pardons by George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump in his first term, this rushed practice led to political and ethical lapses. (Notably, George W. Bush and Barack Obama refused to demean their presidencies in this way.) Presidents possess the pardon power throughout their terms in office, and they should have the courage to exercise it when the public is still paying attention to what they’re doing. But the report also raises several Biden-specific issues. As the June debate revealed, Mr. Biden was an 81-year-old man in decline. In later months, his staff sought ways to lighten his workload and formed, according to the committee report, “a cocoon around President Biden, thereby limiting his time spent with outer circle aides and Democratic Party leaders.” Alas, in the final weeks of pardon discussions, the cocoon expanded to include the president’s son Hunter. Bad enough, it turns out, that the president had already pardoned Hunter after saying repeatedly that he wouldn’t, but the report reveals, shockingly, that Joe Biden involved the prodigal Hunter in discussions of which other pardons to issue. more at the link
