Joe Biden Accused of Not Signing Official Documents by Himself, Alleged Evidence Emerges
- Former President Joe Biden has been accused of using an automatic signature for official documents during his presidency, according to a report by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project
- The group claims that an “autopen signature” was used across almost every document it reviewed, raising questions about the legitimacy of Biden's orders
- Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has demanded an investigation into whether Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval
Washington, D.C., USA – Former President Joe Biden has been accused of using the same automatic signature to sign a raft of documents while in office, according to a new report.
The Oversight Project, an investigative arm of the right-wing think tank behind Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation, challenged the legitimacy of orders signed by the Democrat and claimed that an “autopen signature” was used across almost “every document” it could find.

According to Independent UK, the group posted on X on March 6, sharing several screenshots of documents with Biden's signature.
Examples and comparisons
The Oversight Project shared three examples of Biden’s signature on official documents, including two executive orders signed in August 2022 and December 2024, and a screenshot from Biden’s letter withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election in July.
The two executive orders appeared to use the same autosignature, while the signature on the withdrawal letter was different. Fox News claimed to have examined more than 20 executive orders signed by Biden between 2021 and 2024 and found each had the same signature.
However, an examination of President Donald Trump’s executive orders during his first and second administrations found similar consistency in signatures.
Historical context and reactions
Barack Obama is said to be the first president to use autopen to sign legislation. Its use in the Biden administration was reportedly rare, with the White House often ensuring that Biden physically signed bills.
Examples include Biden signing a $40 billion Ukraine aid package while in South Korea in 2022 and a bill to avert a government shutdown while on vacation in St. Croix.
Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has demanded an investigation into whether Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval.
The Independent has contacted the White House and the Heritage Foundation for more information.
