Contributing sentiments towards policy:

31% : The Constitution gives the president the exclusive authority to grant clemency with very few limits, and as such, there are no Constitutional grounds for Trump to "void" Biden's pardons, even if they were signed by autopen.
27% : Trump wrote on Truth Social that the pardons his predecessor issued were "hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force of effect, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen."
27% : After sharing the post, Trump told reporters on board Air Force One that while "it's not my decision" whether Biden's pardons are honored, he would "say that they're null and void, because I'm sure Biden didn't have any idea that it was taking place, and somebody was using an autopen to sign off and to give pardons."
22% : Despite the baselessness of his Truth Social post, Trump doubled-down on the claim that pardons would be voided.
