In a turn of events that raises eyebrows and calls into question the very foundations of our government, it’s been suggested that bills signed during former President Biden’s administration might not have his literal signature. Usually, the process of turning a bill into a law involves a lot more than just a pen. There’s a formal handover, a specific process that makes it all official. Still, that’s the kind of nitty-gritty that is now being scrutinized for several actions that occurred at the end of Biden’s term. Ah, the drama of bureaucracy in full swing!
How did they ever allow a person who might not even be present to put pen to paper and create laws that affect the entire nation? People are asking just that, and the query isn’t without merit. The founding fathers must be spinning in their graves faster than a turbocharged merry-go-round. They created strict rules and procedures precisely to avoid scenarios where governance could devolve into chaos and corruption. They couldn’t have put in any clearer terms that the president engages directly in the process, ensuring no hijinks or foul play.
What’s at stake is not just a signature but the very essence of law itself. If the president is not physically present to sign and sign off—pun intended—how can anyone be certain that what’s being passed into law is legitimate? An autopen might be acceptable for things like ceremonial Christmas cards, but the laws governing a nation demand a human touch. Biden’s alleged lack of engagement with his presidential duties, especially in his final days, adds to the question. He was reportedly assigning thousands of commutations in just three days—now that’s a marathon workload for someone who barely knew what was coming across his desk.
It begs the question of whether all these so-called laws are technically laws. Shouldn’t there be more robust enforcement measures to ensure the president’s active involvement? Maybe it’s time Congress takes action—or maybe our former president could make it the talking point of his campaign. Restoring accountability like requiring a president to be alert and aware when making decisions. Imagine that—a leadership that actually leads!
So as the political theater unfolds and more focus lands on the perplexities of the Biden administration, there’s a lingering sense that some missed the chance to do their constitutional duty. Trust was placed in an administration that, according to critics, might have allowed chaos to rule behind the scenes. A phantom presidency, running like a puppet show with strings pulled from the shadows. It’s almost Shakespearean, except it’s real life, affecting real people. Considering the stakes, maybe it’s time to revisit what power means and how it should be properly administered, one presidential signature at a time.
