If Biden Didn’t Sign America’s Executive Orders, Who Did?

(, US Correspondent)

Who was in charge in the Biden White House? That’s the question nobody in Washington answered.

Because for the past four years, Executive Orders poured out of the White House, changing border policy, energy policy, social policy, foreign policy, while the American people watched a president who routinely appeared confused, scripted, managed, and physically absent..

And now we know something undeniable: Biden wasn’t even signing his own orders.

A machine was.

As President Trump wrote: “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect.”

President Trump just did what the establishment never wanted anyone to do. And, in doing so, he reopened the most dangerous question in American politics: Who was actually governing this country for the last four years?

Yes, the autopen is a machine that copies signatures. Yes, it has existed for decades. That doesn’t make its use for major executive actions rightful. Because the presidency is not clerical labor, it is personal constitutional authority.

This was never about a pen. It’s about who holds power.

When Americans elect a president, they aren’t voting for:

• Behind-the-scenes staff calling shots
• Bureaucrats hiding in Cabinet offices
• Or faceless aides pushing paperwork

They’re voting for one leader, someone who stands in the arena, makes the call, and signs their own name to the decision. 

Leadership isn’t passed off. The pen belongs to the president. And if you’re not mentally fit or present enough to personally review and sign this nation’s decisions, you shouldn’t be making them at all.

Gen Z conservatives are done with fake leadership. We want Presidents, not puppets. We want to know who is actually in office, who is making decisions, and who is signing their name to the future of this country.

This moment cuts deeper than political theater. It raises a fundamental question about leadership in America: who is truly exercising executive power, and who is accountable for its outcomes? Who was truly directing executive power during the Biden presidency? Americans deserve to know who reviewed policies, approved decisions, and authorized orders that reshaped the nation, and whether the elected president was personally involved in those choices. Power exercised without visible ownership erodes trust in government, and unanswered questions only deepen that erosion.

Time and time again, President Trump has faced investigations, hearings, and impeachment trials, each ending without a conviction or removal from office. Yet a basic question remains unanswered: why hasn’t the same level of urgency been applied to examining the failures of the Biden administration? Accountability cannot be selective. Americans deserve equal standards, honest oversight, and a willingness to investigate uncomfortable questions no matter which party they implicate.

A president must be present, engaged, and personally responsible for the authority entrusted to him. As Scripture reminds us, “Let your ‘Yes’ be yes and your ‘No’ be no” (Matthew 5:37). Our generation is calling for leaders whose words match their actions, and whose authority comes with visible accountability.

As our generation steps into the civic arena, we call for a government where power is visible, responsibility is clear, and leadership is unmistakably real.

Democracy only works when Americans can clearly see who is making decisions and trust that those decisions are being personally owned by the officials they elected. For Gen Z conservatives, authenticity is not a branding choice, it is a democratic requirement. The future demands leaders who show up, take responsibility, and place their own names on the work of governing, without intermediaries, automation, or ambiguity.
