The White House inaugurates a Presidential Walk of Fame with photos of Trump, Obama... and Biden's Autopen
The government is investigating whether the use of the automatic signature device may come to nullify some of the former Democratic president's decisions, such as the signing of thousands of pardons.

The administration on Wednesday unveiled a Presidential Walk of Fame with portraits of former presidents, minus Democrat Joe Biden. In its place is an image of an Autopen writing his signature.
Both House Republicans and the Administration are investigating the use of the mechanical signing device during Biden's presidency. Specifically, they focus on whether it would have been used by the team around the president to govern in his stead, taking advantage of his health problems.
The former president himself told The New York Times that he had not individually approved each name of the thousands of pardons he issued during the final days of his tenure. In previous statements, Trump assured that such use would render the pardons "void."
