In a very concerning report, the Oversight Project has released information on the use of the autopen during the Biden debacle. Apparently, two separate autopens were used.
The Oversight Project gathered every document they could find with Biden’s signature – ALL used autopen signatures except for the announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 election. New analysis of Executive Order signatures shows an increase use of the autopen as Biden’s term progressed. In his first year and a half, he did not use the autopen at all in 78 Executive Orders. In the spring of 2022, that changed drastically. Is this a sign that someone else was using one or both of the autopens?
Please note that in 2025, every single Executive Order, including pardons, used the autopen even though that only happened in 2022.
Politically Charged Executive Orders and the Autopen
Our investigation highlights several Executive Orders that are particularly concerning due to their political weight. These orders, all signed with the autopen, address sensitive issues such as national security, public health, and military justice. Below are key examples:

This order authorized the activation of the Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to address international drug trafficking, expanding emergency powers to combat a national security threat. - Executive Order 14098: Sanctions on Sudan (May 4, 2023)
This order imposed sanctions on individuals destabilizing Sudan, addressing threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy. - Executive Order 14114: Countering Russian Aggression (December 22, 2023)
This order expanded sanctions targeting Russia’s military-industrial base and financial institutions, amending prior orders to counter Russian aggression. - Executive Order 14118: Terminating the Zimbabwe Emergency (March 4, 2024)
This order revoked a national emergency regarding Zimbabwe, acknowledging ongoing concerns about violence and corruption while lifting sanctions. - Executive Order 14122: Public Health Preparedness (April 12, 2024)
Focused on COVID-19 and public health, this order transferred responsibilities to the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy (OPPR) and revoked COVID-19-related orders. - Executive Order 14130: Amending the Manual for Courts-Martial (December 20, 2024)
This order updated the Manual for Courts-Martial to align with legislative changes, including randomized selection of court-martial members.
Per the Oversight Project:
The Biden White House issued 51 clemency warrants in 4 years. 4,245 people received clemency during the Biden Administration.
This includes 37 of the most brutal murderers on federal death row, a person who murdered two FBI agents, people who provided military support to Iran, Dr. Fauci, General Milley, the J6 Committee, members of the Biden family, and hundreds of drug dealers. Every warrant in this group was signed with an autopen.
Here are the stats on the 51 warrants:
16 were signed with Autopen A
16 were signed with Autopen B
19 appear wet signed.Note the subtle differences between Autopen A and B. Autopen A has a bigger space between the “p” and “h” in “Joseph” than Autopen B. There are also subtle differences in the “B” in “Biden” and how the word “Jr.” is written.
🚨SECOND AUTOPEN DISCOVERED🚨
We have found that there was a second frequently used autopen signature for President Biden on pardons and commutations. https://t.co/ociYTfdTkp pic.twitter.com/EeT4Tz9Gb0

According to The New York Post’s Steve Nelson, a key Biden aide may have exceeded their authority by unilaterally determining what documents to robo-sign.
An insider told The New York Post that he feared this key Biden aide: “I feared no one as much as I feared that [staffer]. To me, [the staffer] basically was the president,” the person said. “No one ever questioned [the staffer]. Period.”
Is Neera Tanden the ‘key aide’ behind Biden’s autopenned pardons? Tanden went to work as a key Biden White House staffer after she was forced to withdraw her nomination as OMB Director.
The Oversight Project pointed out that Neera Tanden was the White House Staff Secretary when Joe Biden autopenned pardons from a golf course in the US Virgin Islands.
