He’s such an idiot with this autopen nonsense (again).

Autopen has been around since Truman. They even referenced it on The West Wing (S02E10)

Charlie: Mr. President, they’ve asked me to talk to you about your Christmas cards.

Bartlet: What about them?

Charlie: They want to know which ones you’re going to sign by hand and which ones get the autopen

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail.
I choose the latter:
