When a presidential pen is more than a pen
Linda Feldmann
Among the many fascinations of President Donald Trump is 鈥� a device that can sign a document on the president鈥檚 behalf. President Trump himself has acknowledged using one. But he relishes the ceremony around signing executive orders with an actual pen, typically a Sharpie. Now the autopen is back in the news, as President Trump orders an investigation into the legality of orders and pardons signed by President Joe Biden with an autopen. The device has also come to symbolize the profound 鈥� and growing 鈥� power of the American presidency, as I write in today鈥檚 Daily.
