Missouri AG Action Could Overturn Some Critical Biden Legacies… Including His Pardons
The question of Biden's competence raises questions about their legitimacy
Missouri’s Andrew Bailey has been an absolute wrecking ball for smashing through the unconstitutional power-centers of the deep state. Now he’s scrutinizing some of the wrenches Biden cynically tossed into the gears of the government machinery on his way out.
AG Bailey, with a couple of others, helped lead the charge on challenging the Biden Admin’s power grabs, lawless orders, and trampling of Constitutional Rights. Remember the court case challenging Biden for directing Silicon Valley to censor dissenting opinion on their behalf? Bailey led that charge. Among others.
Long-time readers will remember that yours truly had Bailey on the short list for DOJ with Kash Patel.
Bailey is looking at all the bad-faith orders, legislation, and pardons that were so prevalent in the final days and even hours of the Biden administration, and he wonders if they would hold up to scrutiny.
It’s one thing for Joe Sixpack to yap about this issue to his buddies over the back fence. It’s quite another when the sitting Attorney General of a state — one that has litigated and won major cases in which the past administration was found to be in violation of the Constitutional rights of American citizens — questions the validity of Biden’s recent orders.
It all comes down to what the press is finally admitting about Joe Biden’s compromised mental state. If HE is not actually calling the shots, were others unlawfully usurping authority that was not their own?
Here’s the tweet where he wrote about exactly this question:
BREAKING: I am demanding the DOJ investigated whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval.
If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void.
What makes this action especially interesting is that they can’t even be hand-waved as trivial or petty revenge against the Biden administration: his duties as AG are directly impacted by the answers he is given questions about whether these orders are binding… right up to how he handles convicts on death row.
If the answers such questions are game-changes in HIS work, what ELSE does it impact?
So Bailey sent a letter to the DOJ seeking guidance.
For anyone who doesn’t want to click through, or look at low-quality cut and paste images, I had Grok summarize the letter he sent to the DOJ:
Subject:
“RE: Legality of presidential actions in light of President Biden’s cognitive decline.”
Introduction and Purpose:
Bailey requests a full investigation into whether President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to issue executive orders, pardons, and other actions without Biden’s knowing approval.
He argues that if Biden’s mental incapacity prevented him from understanding or approving these actions, they could be unconstitutional and legally void under the 25th Amendment.
Evidence of Cognitive Decline:
Cites Biden’s “famous” mental decline, referencing Special Counsel Robert K. Hur’s February 2024 report, which described Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” who couldn’t recall key details, such as when he was Vice President or when his son Beau died.
Mentions House Speaker Mike Johnson’s January 2024 account, where Biden reportedly didn’t know what orders he was signing, including mistakenly believing he signed an order for a study on energy exports to Europe rather than a moratorium.
Specific Actions Questioned:
Highlights Biden’s post-election decisions, such as commuting the death sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates to life imprisonment, granting a retroactive blanket pardon to his son Hunter Biden (despite earlier denials), and claiming the Equal Rights Amendment was part of the U.S. Constitution (described as “legally frivolous”).
Notes these actions suggest exploitation by staffers pushing far-left policies without accountability or democratic legitimacy.
Constitutional Concerns:
Argues that if Biden lacked the mental capacity to approve these orders, staffers and Vice President Kamala Harris cannot constitutionally evade accountability by using Biden as a figurehead.
States that such orders would be void if issued without a competent President’s approval, potentially allowing states like Missouri to pursue criminal trials for individuals previously prosecuted under federal law.
Additional Examples of Potential Exploitation:
References clemencies for approximately 2,500 “non-violent” individuals, including one convicted of killing a mother and her 8-year-old child, raising questions about the legitimacy of these decisions if Biden was not competent.
Cites claims from a high-profile DNC fundraiser, Lindy Li, suggesting Biden’s staff, wife, and son effectively ran the country, with senior Democrats and staff restricting Biden’s interactions.
Call to Action:
Urges the DOJ to investigate whether Biden’s cognitive decline led to staff exploiting his incapacity, emphasizing that the public deserves to know if these actions were made without a competent President’s approval.
