Not to burst your bubble, but are you sure it's not an autopen? I ask mainly because this *is* the President that used an autopen to sign legislation into law.

Yes. And for the record, the President only signed a bill with an auto pen because he was on the other side of the world and time was of the essence. It is not like he just decided he was too lazy to sign a bill, a very important one at that, into law.
I've had top authenticators take a look via scan for me and they agree.

That's pretty cool. As for the autopen, the three times he used the autopen to sign legislation into law. Once was while he was having dinner with his wife in Hawaii. I would think, given the technology we have available (and have had available since at least 1993), that it would make more sense for a President to electronically sign bills, rather than authorizing someone else to affix and autopen signature. Again, that's just me.

Regardless, very cool that the signature was deemed authentic by professionals.

What top authenticators did you have take a look at it? I am just curious.

Very cool Ryan. He should have invited you to the White House.

I was just inside the White House a month ago as I received a tour pass for my wife and I through our Senator. Very cool to be on the other side of the fence looking out!
