House Republicans are calling on the Justice Department to launch an investigation into the Biden administration’s use of an autopen, an effort they hope will unwind various actions taken by former President Biden.

The 100-page report released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee caps an investigation brought by the panel following questions about Biden’s mental acuity.

While House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) also asks the D.C. Department of Health’s Board of Medicine to conduct an investigation into Biden’s doctor, the most significant requests associated with the report falls to Attorney General Pam Bondi, including whether any Biden pardons should be overturned.

Presidents have, across administrations, used autopens to sign actions authorized by the president. But House Republicans in their report argue that Biden was “cognitively impaired” and that staff took a “laissez faire approach that treated the use of the autopen as a mundane practice” that did not document a chain of command on decisions.

However, the report does not point to a specific incident in which the investigators could demonstrate the autopen was used without Biden’s authorization.

"Barring evidence of executive actions taken during the Biden presidency showing that President Biden indeed took a particular executive action, the Committee deems those actions taken through use of the autopen as void,” Comer wrote.

“The validity of the executive actions allegedly approved and signed (largely by autopen) by the President Biden [sic] must be reviewed to determine whether legal action is necessary to ameliorate consequences of any illegitimate pardons granted, or executive actions implemented, throughout the Biden Autopen Presidency,” the report adds, asking Bondi to review “all executive actions attributed to President Joe Biden."

Any investigation........
