President Trump ordered his White House counsel and the attorney general on Wednesday to investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his staff in Mr. Trump’s latest attempt to stokeoutlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor.
In an executive order, Mr. Trump put the power and resources of the federal government to work examining whether some of Mr. Biden’s presidential actions were legally invalid because his aides had enacted those policies without his knowledge.
The executive order came after Mr. Trump shared a social media post over the weekend that claimed Mr. Biden had been “executed in 2020” and replaced by a robotic clone, following a pattern of suggestions by the president and his allies that Mr. Biden was a mentally incapacitatedpuppet of his aides.
The former president called such claims “ridiculous and false” in a statement on Wednesday after the order’s release.
“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” he said. “I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation and proclamations.”

特朗普总统周三命令白宫法律顾问和司法部长对前总统小约瑟夫・R・拜登及其幕僚展开调查，这是特朗普最新一次试图煽动关于其前任的离奇阴谋论。
在一份行政命令中，特朗普动用联邦政府的权力和资源，审查拜登的部分总统行为是否因助手在其不知情的情况下执行相关政策而在法律上无效。
该行政命令出台前，特朗普周末在社交媒体上分享了一篇帖子，声称拜登 “已于 2020 年被处决”，并被一个机器人克隆体取代。此前，总统及其盟友一直暗示拜登是精神上丧失能力的傀儡，受其助手操控。
这位前总统在周三命令发布后的一份声明中称此类说法 “荒谬且虚假”。
“我要明确一点：在我的总统任期内，所有决定都是我做出的，” 他说，“关于赦免、行政命令、立法和公告的决定，都是我做出的。”

The order comes after disclosure in recent weeks that Mr. Biden, 82, had received a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer and in the wake of renewed scrutiny of his health during his presidency.
Since his return to office, Mr. Trump has embarked on a campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies, with Mr. Biden as a key target. He has moved to strip Mr. Biden’s security clearance and ordered investigations into the Biden administration’s handling of a range of issues.
But the ordered inquiry into a conspiracy theory about the former president himself was a startling escalation.
“The White House issued over 1,200 presidential documents, appointed 235 judges to the federal bench, and issued more pardons and commutations than any administration in United States history,” the executive order said, after asserting that “former President Biden’s aides abused the power” of his office.
A central claim of the conspiracy theory, as described by Mr. Trump himself, is that Mr. Biden’s use of the autopen system — which reproduces a person’s signature to be affixed to official documents — can legally invalidate those documents.

该命令是在最近几周披露82 岁的拜登被诊断出晚期前列腺癌之后，以及人们对他总统任期内健康状况重新开始审视之际发布的。
自重新执政以来，特朗普已展开针对其眼中敌人的报复行动，拜登是主要目标。他已采取行动撤销拜登的安全许可，并下令对拜登政府处理一系列问题的方式展开调查。
但针对这位前总统本人的阴谋论展开的调查命令，是一次惊人的升级。
行政命令称，“白宫发布了 1200 多份总统文件，向联邦法院任命了 235 名法官，发布的赦免和减刑数量超过美国历史上任何一届政府”，并声称 “前总统拜登的助手滥用了” 其职权。
正如特朗普本人所述，该阴谋论的核心主张是，拜登使用自动签名系统（一种复制个人签名并加盖在官方文件上的技术）可能在法律上使这些文件无效。

Mr. Trump has claimed, for example, that some pardons Mr. Biden had made during his time in office were invalid because they were signed using an autopen. (There is no power in the Constitution or case law to undo a pardon.)
Mr. Trump has acknowledged that his administration uses the autopen system on occasion. But his executive order asserts without evidence that the Biden administration’s own use of the system may have “implications for the legality and validity” of some of Mr. Biden’s actions as president.
The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel had weighed in on this issue at the request of President George W. Bush in 2005.
Howard C. Nielson Jr., the top official at the Office of Legal Counsel, concluded that “the president need not personally perform the physical act of affixing his signature to a bill he approves and decides to sign in order for the bill to become law.” He added that the president could instead direct “a subordinate to affix the president’s signature to such a bill, for example by autopen.”
Mr. Nielson is now a Federal District Court judge in Utah, nominated to the position by Mr. Trump during his first term.

例如，特朗普声称拜登在任期间做出的一些赦免无效，因为这些赦免是用自动签名笔签署的。（宪法或判例法中并无撤销赦免的权力。）
特朗普承认，他的政府偶尔会使用自动签名系统。但他的行政命令在没有证据的情况下断言，拜登政府对该系统的使用可能对拜登作为总统的部分行为的 “合法性和有效性” 产生影响。
司法部法律顾问办公室曾在 2005 年应乔治・W・布什总统的要求对这一问题发表意见。
法律顾问办公室最高官员小霍华德・C・尼尔森得出结论称，“总统无需亲自执行在其批准并决定签署的法案上加盖签名的物理行为，该法案即可成为法律。” 他补充说，总统可以指示 “下属为该法案加盖总统签名，例如通过自动签名笔，”
尼尔森目前是犹他州联邦地区法院法官，由特朗普在其第一任期内提名担任该职位。
