President Trump announced that he was canceling all executive orders signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen, which is a device that reproduces signatures. President Trump has also used autopen to sign official documents. Back in September, the White House hung a photo of Biden’s autopen signature instead of his portrait in the walkway featuring portraits of former presidents. Biden signed 162 executive orders during his presidency, though it’s unclear how many were signed using autopen. President Trump rescinded nearly 70 of Biden’s executive orders shortly after taking office, and another 19 in March.
