Yeah, they have a mechanical arm that holds a pen and duplicate the motions of a signature. And then has a feeding mechanism so that you can sign a whole gaggle of documents automatically.
They used to be a contraption that with linkages that held a bunch of pens. More of a "multi-pen". It's funny that signing papers got to be labor intensive enough of a problem that they had to invent productivity devices in the 1800s. I could imagine that if Trump had to manually sign every Jan 6 pardon, he probably would have just let them rot in prison instead.
Oh PRESIDENTS get fancy little pen tools but when I had to write labels for 20 leftover pizzas every night i had to do them individually πππ
You gotta sign it by hand if it's really important, which is pizza people don't get autopens
Nah, Trump loves signing things. Itβs probably his favourite aspect of being president.
