WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Carl Higbie Frontline on Newsmax to discuss President Trump's plan to void all Biden autopen documents, and the need for the Senate to pass the SAVE Act.
"I think what happens is it invalidates all those orders. As long as they can prove it was signed by the autopen, and let's be clear, I don't think Joe Biden was signing much of anything. I think a lot of that stuff was being done by autopen, and the key thing is being done by autopen without his knowledge. And one thing that is very clear from the Oversight Committee investigation to this point, anybody with key detailed knowledge about Joe Biden's mental capability was pleading the fifth in our closed-door depositions. That's what they were doing. So they don't even want to go on the record speaking to the competency of Joe Biden. They would rather plead the fifth and move on. So, I think the president is making the correct call. Anything signed by an autopen is null and void."
"The SAVE Act is common sense. It should go for a vote":
"Listen, the Senate doesn't work. I've been very clear on this one. The filibuster is a major hurdle to getting commonsense policy through both chambers of Congress here in Washington, D.C. The SAVE Act is common sense. It should go for a vote. If Democrat senators want to vote it down, let them be on the record for it. But for it not even to get a vote in the Senate makes no sense. And this is actually one of the big issues we are having here on Capitol Hill. A lot of people are upset. They're saying, 'Well, why isn't Congress doing more?' I will tell you a lot of policy ideas that are filed in the House don't even get to the floor because leadership is concerned. I don't agree with them, but they're concerned about things just going to sit in the Senate and not getting any action. I think we should continue to do our jobs here in the House, send bills over to the Senate, but the Senate has got to start voting for things. If Democrats want to vote things down like the SAVE Act or they want to vote down voter ID in federal elections, or if they want to vote down simple commonsense things like making sure illegals are not counted for the purpose of setting Congressional districts. That should all be voted for in the United States Senate, and if Democrats vote no, let the American people see that clearly."
