Joe Biden is once again giving interviews, and even in a transcribed phone interview with the New York Times, it's clear that the former president's mental health is in steep decline and likely has been for some time.
This follows the recent revelation by the former President's Chief of Staff that Biden didn't actually personally sign off on many of his presidential pardons. Evidently, many of Biden's executive actions were actually carried out at the direction of senior staff, using an autopen.
This, in turn, raises concerns about how legitimate those pardons actually are. Political analyst Vlad Davidiuk said, "His chief of staff's acknowledgment that they used the autopen without verification basically proves a complete collapse of executive accountability."
Davidiuk went on to say this could cast doubt on anything from legislation that Biden supposedly signed to even his appointment of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. He said, "This opens the door for a constitutional crisis. Biden's actions put in jeopardy the trust that the American people have in the federal government."
He says now it's up to the GOP-controlled House and Senate, as well as the Trump administration, to conduct investigations into all of this. He said, "It's an embarrassment to every patriotic American, and we should not stop until full accountability has been achieved, and we have answers and security, knowing that this could never happen again."
