The practice of using an autopen—a device that replicates a person's signature—has been employed by past U.S. presidents for various documents. Historically, such devices were not commonly used for signing executive orders or other critical legislative actions. Notably, Edith Wilson, during President Woodrow Wilson's incapacitation, signed many documents. However, the implications of autopen use in the current administration, especially concerning an elected official, presents a new and troubling development.
