Bill > HR4411

This bill aims to restrict the presidential signing process by prohibiting the use of automated signing devices, known as "autopens," and preventing the delegation of certain presidential functions. Specifically, the bill amends title 3 of the United States Code to mandate that only the President personally can sign important documents such as bills, executive orders, pardons, and commutations. The legislation would invalidate any previously signed documents that were not directly signed by the President, including those signed before the bill's effective date. An autopen is a mechanical device that can reproduce a person's signature, which has been used by presidents in the past to sign documents when they are unable to be physically present. The bill seeks to ensure that critical governmental actions require the direct, personal involvement of the President, thereby preserving the constitutional significance of presidential signatures and preventing potential misuse of automated signing technologies.
