Granted. I agree with you on that.
But lets look at that a little more deeply.
Leaving former President Biden out of the discussion for the moment . . .
What is the legal status of an executive action, be it a routine inter departmental memo or letter of commendation up to something nationally significant such as an Executive Order or approval of pending legislation . . .if the chief executive, the President, has not authorized it through his direct signature or if he has personally authorized an autopen signing?
Is it a legitimate document if the president has no knowledge of it? And I do not specifically mean if the president (whoever it may be at the time) has a memory lapse and does not Reall the legislation, EO, letter or memo.
I mean, what is the case if someone just generates the document and has it auto penned?
Is that a legitimate document? Is it to be considered to be signed into law (if legislation). Is it an actionable EO?
Has this ever been addressed, or has it always been assumed that the president's staff won't try to pull a fast one and go rogue?
