Hillary Clinton was approached by an autograph seeker who wanted her to sign a $100 bill.

She refused saying, "That would be illegal."

The autograph seeker then showed her that *Bubba had already signed that very bill.

forgive me for potentially missing something...but as Bill isn’t a candidate and it is, wouldn’t the same laws not apply to them?

Good thing the guy wasn’t a Chinese dishwasher, or else she would have pocketed it.

It's not illegal to write on US currency

I was always told it was illegal. Money is the property of the US government and may not be defaced or destroyed.

United States Code
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 17 - COINS AND CURRENCY
§ 333. Mutilation of national bank obligations

“Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or
unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill,
draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking
association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System,
with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence
of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”

I doubt that an autograph would be considered rendered unusable.

Bill Clinton's Secret Service: Screw You!

I saw that one. I also read - Bill finally tells one of his Secret Service dudes to grab the book -- the autograph hound says, "Is he gonna sign it?" The edgy Secret Service dude says, "No."

Is Hillary giving lessons now?

LOL. I thought I’d seen them all but somehow I missed this one.

Thanks.

As metalcor replied above, it's illegal to deface or destroy it (render it unusable), but an autograph (or an impromptu shopping list, or a "Happy birthday, I love you" message) hardly qualifies.

I'm willing to bet that the story is a hoax; or if it's true, then Hillary's REAL reason for not doing it is she was afraid it was some sort of set-up. Which, if true, it was (just not what she expected)!

It can’t be against the law. We have a dollar bill signed by Eleanor Roosevelt in the south Pacific during WWII while she was visiting the troops commanded by my father-in-law, Colonel Douglas M. Cairns.
