I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we thank You for the introduction of this bill. We pray that no presidential administration would ever again be able to abuse the autopen and subvert the will of the people.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Following recent revelations about former President Biden’s liberal use of the autopen, one representative is pushing for legislation that would prevent future presidents from abusing the device.

Visit your state page to pray.

 

The Daily Wire has the story:

Rep. Addison McDowell (R-NC) is introducing a bill called the “Ban on Inkless Directives and Executive Notarizations Act of 2025 (BIDEN) Act” that would amend Title 3 of the U.S. Code to prevent a president from using such a device for signing bills, executive orders, pardons, and commutations.

It comes as GOP lawmakers became increasingly concerned that Biden was not mentally competent or even aware when staffers used the device to stamp his signature on clemency decisions after the former president and his aides conceded to The New York Times that he did not individually approve each of the pardons, but rather authorized the overarching criteria used to determine who qualified.

The bill comes after Americans learned that Biden only personally signed the pardon for his son, Hunter. Every other controversial pardon, from Dr. Fauci to the January 6 Committee, was reportedly signed by the autopen.

Notably, Representative McDowell’s bill would render all acts signed by the autopen, both those signed in the past and those signed in the future, invalid.

The introduction of this bill also comes as Republicans have been busy interviewing Biden’s closest allies to determine just how mentally competent he was during his presidency. IFA has reported on these investigations and testimonies, and many have asked whether Biden was even aware of who he was pardoning and what he was signing throughout his time in office.

Let’s pray for Representative McDowell as he pushes his new bill in the House of Representatives. And, above all else, let’s pray for a return to to integrity, transparency, and accountability in Washington!

The autopen can not be defended against abuse of it’s use, so all documents where the autopen was used are void. Investigate all involved in its use and if found guilty of abuse fined an obscene amount and jailed for a ridiculous amount of time. The punishment has to be great enough to be a deterrent, right now those who abuse their position in government have no fear of being caught and punished. I trust in God to take care of this in His time.

More needs to be done and investigted about signing with autopen. Many democrats who were pardened should have been impeached. They are still sitting pretty and still spreading lies and hate .

Amen to this bill!! Truly our Founding Fathers would have never ever approved of auto/pen! Praise God the corruption and coverups during Biden’s presidency are being exposed. Let us also pray that those responsible for corruption are held accountable.

    Let us now repent as a nation and return unto the Lord. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. I decree and even prophetically declare that Jehovah God IS the God of America and because it is so we are BLESSED. We are one nation under God and let the plethora of gods that plague this land take a knee and bow at the name of Jesus that we declare, announce and proclaim in these United States of America. Let the other names fade away until there’s only You, Lord God. Let every worldly system erected to defy, displace and ignore justice fall as we declare Jesus is Lord. We thank You, O God, for the wisdom that you bestow upon our Representatives and Senators to pen legislation that divinely aligns with Your word, Your will, and Your way. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Talk about shutting the gate after the cows have let out.
How about UN doing every AUTOPIN SIGNATURE via BIDEN.
Everybody knows 2020 election was rigged.
Everybody knows Bidr was and is mentally incompetent
before he was even sworn into office.

Lord we ask that ALL those involved in the corruption will be held accountable
No more, covering it up, no more sweeping it under the rug.
Let justice row like a mighty flowing stream.

Yes, this bill is needed.
Our Founding Fathers would have never wanted a device like this.

Congress must also create and pass a bill that makes covering up for a president who is not mentally competent illegal.

Multiple staffers should have spoken up.

VP Harris needs to be held responsible for not speaking up.
