“Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey wrote a letter to Michael E. Horowitz, the inspector general for the Justice Department, requesting him to “conduct a full investigation into President Biden’s mental capacity in his final days in office,” says a post by RWTNews on X. “I am demanding the DOJ investigate whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey posted on X. “If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void.” The popular financial and news site ZeroHedge on 3.6.2025 said: “A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden’s signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one.”
Part I
1) Matt Margolis for PJ Media wrote: “Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn’t recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports? Now we know why — he probably didn’t. The real question is: Who did? Who was running the country while Biden was not all there?”
2) From the Heritage Oversight Project is this X post.

Per the Oversight Project X-page is this apparent mission statement for that group: “The Everyday American’s legal and investigative org battling corruption and weaponization. tips.oversightproject@heritage.org @Heritage.”
3) This is the document, per the Oversight Project, that Joe Biden signed that said he was dropping out of the 2024 race for the White House.

5) Left-leaning Newsweek said this about the developing controversy.
Why It Matters
Bailey said that if Biden were unaware of any executive orders he signed, plus other actions, they would be rendered void.
His statement shows that there is a continued focus on the Biden administration from Republicans, despite the party holding power in both houses of Congress and the White House.
What To Know
In a statement on social media, Bailey called on the DOJ, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, to investigate whether Biden was fully aware of all orders he signed while he was president.
In his letter to the DOJ, Bailey blamed high-level Democrats for manipulating Biden, including former Vice President Kamala Harris: “There are profound reasons to suspect that Biden’s staff and political allies exploited his mental decline to issue purported presidential orders without his knowing approval.
“Though presidents always have gatekeepers, in Biden’s case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater, according to Democratic lawmakers, donors and aides who worked for Biden and other administrations. Staff limited Biden’s ability to speak with others and limited the sources of information he consumed.”
Bailey has served as Missouri’s attorney general since January 2023. In November 2024, it was reported that he was under consideration to become President Donald Trump’s attorney general pick, though Trump eventually picked Matt Gaetz, and later Bondi.
At time of writing, the DOJ has not issued a response to Bailey’s comments.
6) In this Q-A with left-leaning Copilot sheds light on the range of potential concerns and ramifications.
The Missouri AG Bailey has written a letter to DOJ Michael Horowitz on the topic of evidence that an autopen was used to sign documents by Joe Biden while he was functioning as president. While it seems to me that it would likely end up litigated, whatever decision Horowitz or the DOJ may render, if the allegations made by AG Bailey and the Heritage linked Oversight Project are true, what are the range of items that could be legally called into question during the Biden-Harris era? Wouldn’t CRs, EOs, legislation, pardons or commutations, or perhaps even nominations and thus appointments to cabinet level offices all be potentially called into legal question? Provide facts from ‘both sides,’ so to speak, and link results.
If the allegations made by Missouri AG Bailey and the Heritage-linked Oversight Project are true, and an autopen was used to sign documents by Joe Biden while he was functioning as president, a wide range of items could potentially be called into legal question. Here are some key points from both sides of the argument:
Potential Legal Implications:
- Continuing Resolutions (CRs): If CRs were signed using an autopen without Biden’s knowing approval, their legality could be challenged, potentially impacting government funding and operations.
- Executive Orders (EOs): EOs signed with an autopen could be deemed invalid if it is proven that Biden did not give his knowing approval. This could affect policies and directives issued during his presidency.
- Legislation: Any legislation signed into law using an autopen could be subject to legal challenges, questioning the validity of the laws enacted during Biden’s tenure.
- Pardons and Commutations: Pardons or commutations granted using an autopen could be contested, potentially affecting individuals who received clemency.
- Nominations and Appointments: Nominations and appointments to cabinet-level offices and other positions could be scrutinized if it is proven that Biden did not personally approve them.
Arguments from Both Sides:
- Supporters of the Allegations:
- They argue that using an autopen without Biden’s knowing approval undermines the legitimacy of the actions taken during his presidency.
- They believe that the use of an autopen could indicate that Biden was not fully aware or capable of making decisions, raising concerns about the legality of his actions.
- Opponents of the Allegations:
- They argue that the use of an autopen is a common practice for signing documents and does not necessarily indicate a lack of approval or awareness by the president.
- They believe that challenging the legality of actions taken during Biden’s presidency based on the use of an autopen could set a dangerous precedent and create unnecessary legal and political turmoil.
Sources:
In summary, if the allegations are proven true, a wide range of actions taken during the Biden-Harris era could be called into legal question. However, the validity of these challenges would depend on the evidence presented and the legal interpretations of the use of an autopen.
7)
Before a nominee is sent by a president to the Senate for confirmation/consent, or not, doesn’t that president have to sign a document that formalizes that process request?
Yes, before a nominee is sent by a president to the Senate for confirmation, the president must sign a formal nomination document. This document is then submitted to the Senate, where it is read on the floor and assigned a number, initiating the Senate’s “Advice and Consent” process as outlined in Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
You can find more details about the confirmation process .
8) Note that on this date and time (about 8:42 AM on 3.7.2025) following a check by MHProNews, there is no result on the AG’s website for an original of that document provided via the X-post above. Some other related items are shown below.
9) So, potentially, even the Biden-Harris (D) era cabinet and many appointments made by Biden that require the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate could be called into question. An array of legal and constitutional questions would be questionable and potentially voided.
Obviously, on some level the Trump Administration would reasonably be needed or desired to advance such an inquiry. They may just kill this at the DOJ level. It may also be one more item that calls into question concerns about the validity of the 2020 election. If this gains steam, expect some to say that a kind of stealth “coup” occurred. The ramifications are wide ranging.
This will likely take time, perhaps years, given the litigation process that would likely be occurring if the DOJ takes up this request by MO AG Bailey. MHProNews plans to monitor and report as warranted. Some potentially related items follow. ##
While not directly related, let’s note that the most popular article on the MHProNews website so far this month is about the Epstein case. That is the second article linked below.
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Whatever the facts and evidence are, ‘it is what it is.’ For those who wondered why MHProNews covered some of the items above, keep in mind that reports like the one below prove as time went on to be a valid concern.
