The word "signature" does not appear in the Constitution a single time.

The word "sign" in the context of a President signing something only appears twice in regards to legislation from Congress.

 
You niggers arguing that an unelected theater kid with access to an auto-pen with Biden's signature is a-okay are the same fucks who'd scream constitutional crisis and end of democracy if it was a fucking Trump aide doing the same shit under the current administration.
Accepting that Trump is baselessly claiming he can void the pardons by Biden because he didn't know about them or some shit (which is also easily dismissed, as Biden repeatedly said he was considering pardoning Liz Cheney, Fauci, and co) is not the same as agreeing with those pardons. I think they're morally reprehensible and that Biden cheated the system by pardoning them, but that doesn't mean I think the solution is for Trump to go to muddy waters and challenge the constitutional powers granted to the president.

Again the problem is not who signed them, and you can't suddenly say that Biden didn't know or didn't agree with them just because you also think they should have never happened. The problem is that Biden can easily say he did sign them and that trying to go after these pardons is going after the Constitution. The situation is retarded no matter how you cut it, and there are better ways to voice your grievances against those pardons than to suddenly cross your arms and say "nuh-uh these aren't valid."

But go ahead and call me a retard, because apparently disagreeing with Trump on this means I have TDS or something.
 

Federal Judge Orders Astronauts Be Returned To Space Station​

U.S. — A district judge has issued a ruling saying Trump lacked the Constitutional authority to pick up two astronauts who have been stranded at the International Space Station for several months.

SpaceX has been ordered to return the astronauts immediately.

"I will not stand by while Donald Trump abuses his power like a dictator," said Judge Earl Flanders in his ruling. "Trump has no authority to pick up these astronauts, and I can say that because I'm a federal judge, and no one is allowed to argue with me, and everyone has to do what I say."

Eyewitnesses say the judge then donned a Keffiyeh and spray painted a Cybertruck while screaming "Black Lives Matter."

Sources in Washington say Trump plans to brazenly ignore the lawful order and bring the astronauts home anyway. "This is just the kind of wanton lawlessness we should expect from a dictator who is literally Hitler," said one legal analyst.

The SpaceX craft docked at the ISS on Sunday and was preparing for the return journey to Earth when the orders stopped the process short. "Please bring us home, I just want a cheeseburger and a nap in a horizontal bed," said one of the crew.

At publishing time, Trump was polling at 100% approval among the stranded astronaut demographic.
