Scott Jennings Leaves Elliott Williams Spinning Like a Broken Record

Elliott Williams: “I had an autopen when I worked at ICE.”
Scott Jennings: “Did you allow people to use the name Eliot Williams without your knowledge of the document or what was on the page?”
Elliott Williams: “I don’t recall.”
Scott Jennings: “I’m asking you. If you were a government official and you had an autopen, which you did, would you let some staffer sign things in your name without reading?”
Elliott Williams: “Was my authority delegated to that individual? And I think they do have the authority to do so.”
Scott Jennings: “The authority to delegate pardons and executive orders? The President of the United States can say, you unelected staffer, can go sign my name on a document that I’ve never seen for a decision that I’ve never made?”
Elliott Williams: “Quite often, the United States code delegates authority.”
Scott Jennings: “Nobody can be delegated the pardon power. It is a constitutional power and I don’t really think you can delegate the executive order power either, because the executive has to make the order.”
