Is this why presidents use so many pens to sign bills? |
|
I noticed that President Obama used a number of pens to sign the stimulus bill Tuesday, and I've seen other presidents do the same thing before.
Is it so that they will have more momentos to hand out? "Hey, here's a pen I signed a historic bill with!" It's the only thing I can come up with. Is that right?

Concise and to the point.

I think you helped me with an electrical issue last summer, and I want to say again, "Thank you!"
If I got you mixed up with someone else, I'm sorry!

Was it a home wiring problem? If so it could have been me, if not it was likely someone else.

11. Yes. I knew somebody who was a dem congressman in the 60's |
|
I went to his funeral when he passed away, and they had a bunch of his memoribilia on display as a tribute to him. They had several pics of him at the Presidential signings of a few bills, and the pen he got as part of it. Sometimes with a letter from the President. It was actually fascinating. I never knew some of the things he had done, he was just a really nice man. I met him through the lab rescue group that I volunteered for.
