The most damning revelation about Joe Biden’s presidency isn’t what he did—it’s what he didn’t do. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has uncovered a constitutional bombshell that should shake every American who believes in accountable governance: Biden issued thousands of pardons using an autopen machine without taking meetings, reviewing cases, or leaving any documentation of deliberative thought.
This isn’t mere administrative laziness. This is the systematic abandonment of one of the presidency’s most sacred constitutional duties, revealing a commander-in-chief who was present in title but absent in function.
**When Machines Replace Constitutional Judgment**
The pardon power enshrined in Article II of the Constitution represents one of the presidency’s most solemn responsibilities. The Founders envisioned a chief executive who would carefully weigh justice, mercy, and the national interest before extending presidential clemency. They certainly never imagined a mechanical device reproducing presidential signatures while the actual president remained nowhere to be found in the decision-making process.
Comer’s investigation reveals the disturbing extent to which Biden’s handlers managed core executive functions. While Americans believed their president was making thoughtful decisions about justice and redemption, a machine was doing the work. The constitutional requirement for presidential judgment became a bureaucratic checkbox, completed by autopilot while the nominal leader of the free world was functionally checked out.
**The Administrative State Unmasked**
This revelation exposes the broader pattern that defined the Biden years: unelected bureaucrats wielding constitutional powers while the president remained disconnected from critical decisions. The systematic nature of these phantom pardons suggests coordination that extends far beyond simple administrative convenience—it reveals a shadow governance structure operating independently of democratic oversight.
When presidential powers operate without presidential involvement, we no longer have a constitutional republic. We have an administrative state masquerading as democratic governance, with elected officials serving as mere figureheads while permanent bureaucrats make the real decisions. This is precisely the kind of deep state capture that America First patriots have warned about for years.
**Constitutional Crisis in Plain Sight**
The implications extend far beyond clemency decisions. If Biden wasn’t personally involved in exercising the pardon power, what other constitutional authorities were delegated to machines and handlers? How many executive orders, military decisions, and diplomatic communications bore Biden’s autopen signature while he remained absent from the actual decision-making process?
This investigation provides crucial documentation for understanding how constitutional powers were systematically divorced from constitutional accountability. The zero documentation of meetings or deliberative processes isn’t just poor record-keeping—it’s evidence of a presidency that operated without its president.
**Restoring Presidential Accountability**
Chairman Comer’s methodical investigation demonstrates how America First legislators can expose administrative state operations and restore transparency to constitutional processes. His findings protect future presidents from similar bureaucratic capture while ensuring that constitutional powers return to their intended framework of personal presidential responsibility.
This groundwork proves invaluable for patriots committed to dismantling the shadow governance structure that treated constitutional authority as administrative convenience. When the next America First president takes office, these revelations will help ensure that presidential powers are exercised by presidents, not by machines and handlers operating in constitutional shadows.
**The Path Forward**
Patriots should expect additional bombshells as Comer’s investigation expands to reveal other constitutional powers exercised without presidential involvement. This systematic documentation of administrative state overreach provides the foundation for genuine governmental reform and constitutional restoration.
America’s next chapter demands authentic presidential leadership rather than bureaucratic puppetry masquerading as executive authority. Thanks to investigations like Comer’s, we now have the evidence needed to ensure that constitutional powers are wielded by constitutionally accountable leaders—not by machines operating on autopilot while democracy sleeps.
The Constitution deserves better than phantom presidents and autopilot governance. America deserves leaders who actually lead.
