Markwayne Mullin, a United States Senator, has recently posted several comments on social media addressing issues related to presidential actions and upcoming congressional decisions. His tweets focus on the use of executive authority, questions about leadership within the current administration, and pending legislative action.
On July 14, 2025, Mullin raised concerns regarding the impact of President Biden’s staff using an autopen for official actions. He questioned accountability by asking, “How many death row murderers are now off the hook because Biden’s staff pulled out the autopen? Who was running the country?”
Shortly after his initial post on July 14, 2025, Mullin posted a follow-up tweet containing only a series of downward-pointing emojis and a link: ” https://t.co/NfgyEuuhtK”.
On July 15, 2025, Mullin shifted focus to congressional matters with a reminder regarding an impending vote. He stated: “REMINDER: Congress has until Friday (7/18) to pass President Trump’s first DOGE cuts (rescissions) package. Needs 51 votes to pass. I’m a YES.”
Additional information for Step 3: The use of an autopen refers to an automatic signature device sometimes used by presidents or their staff to sign documents in lieu of physically signing them. Rescissions packages refer to proposals submitted by the president to cancel previously approved budgetary spending; they require Congressional approval.
