I don’t think so. Can you cite the law on that?

Here's what I found at the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel:
Whether the President May Sign a Bill by Directing That His Signature Be Affixed to It

Date of Issuance: July 7, 2005

Headnotes The President need not personally perform the physical act of affixing his signature to a bill he approves and decides to sign in order for the bill to become law. Rather, the President may sign a bill within the meaning of Article I, Section 7 by directing a subordinate to affix the President’s signature to such a bill, for example by autopen.
