(Snip) Within thirty minutes, the White House seems to have directed the pool reporter to send this note to reporters, from an unnamed "senior White House official": "We received the ['fiscal cliff'] bill late this afternoon, and it was immediately processed. A copy was delivered to the President for review. He then directed the bill be signed by autopen."

It could have been worse, I suppose. He could have insisted they fly the damn thing out to Hawaii for him to sign in some staged photo-op BS.
Just curious, but when did ‘signing’ bills into law with an AUTO-PEN come in to being?
Silly me, I thought the President has to actually SIGN a bill for it to become a law.
I think the Auto Pen has a more sound constitutional authority than our illegal president.
Are we talking about the Jefferson invention here?
I would think it was a plotter pen type device driven by a stored signature.
“I think the Auto Pen has a more sound constitutional authority than our illegal president.”
Hussein’s worshippers figure if it’s good enough for the families of the troops who have given their lives in service to the messiah....
Fake signature by a fake dictator.
Found this on the internet..so it must be true.
“John Isaac Hawkins invented the first autopen in 1803 or, at least, that is when he received his patent. Thomas Jefferson, always an early adopter of technology, started using it a year later.”
By the way, I am a French Model.
Bon Jure.
Now, if they could combine a teleprompter with an autopen into one machine, we’d have a fully automated Obama.

What are the guidelines to prevent mal-use? Could I get it and overturn all his edicts, for instance? ( Not that would be a bad thing)

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.

MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
You have asked whether, having decided to approve a bill, the President may sign it, within the meaning of Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution, by directing a subordinate to affix the President’s signature to it, for example by autopen. This memorandum confirms and elaborates upon our earlier advice that the President may sign a bill in this manner...
Fake pen, fake money, fake president, fake history, fake election, fake representation, fake statistics, fake reporting.

That horrid mistake was made by Donald Rumsfeld. He had the gall to autopen sympathy notes. Thank God it was found out and he went to signing them.
Maybe if the auto pen and the TOTUS get together and procreate we can do way with NObama all together, provided they don’t stop at a PP clinic.
this is simply brilliant
“Now, if they could combine a teleprompter with an autopen into one machine, we’d have a fully automated Obama”
hope 0dumbo’s minions dont’see this
he could stay on permanent vacay then
Auto Pen would have done surprisingly well in the GOP primaries...
Silly me, I thought the President has to actually SIGN a bill for it to become a law.
Maybe he will want to say: "I didn't sign that bill. The autopen was misused by others. Maybe the autopen signed by itself.
We need to outlaw, at least regulate, autopens."
