Under US law, the president has the expressed authority to direct a subordinate to attach the presidential signature in an official capacity without the president present while granting that individual no more authorities.
For the regular citizens, you have to be present or assign a lawful representative with legal authorities. So you couldn’t tell your secretary to attach your electronic signature to your mortgage loan papers unless she had power of attorney or was acting as your guardian. You can click a button to attach your electronic signature and send the document to whomever.
So Biden was fine to sign without being present. I think their argument is that he was not capable of knowingly doing what he did due to mental condition. So they would have to prove he was unfit and determine when he crossed that line for whatever they are claiming to be valid and vacation possible.
I honestly don’t think it would be that hard to prove he was mentally compromised with a few subpoenas, or at least cast enough doubt. There was the staffers that talked about their wrangling efforts at the start of his term.
You are right though, Trump will do whatever and then the courts will glaciate their way through unfucking things.
