“‘I’ve got a pen,’ said Barack Obama, famously, ‘and I’ve got a phone; and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward. …’ There has been a lot of talk, recently, about the danger posed by Donald J. Trump’s executive orders. Understandable, but no matter how dangerous an imperial president may be, the one thing you cannot say about the ‘use of the pen to sign executive orders’ is that it is unprecedented. But there’s one kind of pen that is somewhat … problematic: the autopen. It’s a signing machine.” (03/12/25)
