Whats the deal with all the pens the presidents use when signing legislation?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Presidents change pens so that there are more pens for souvenirs and gifts. Imagine being able to say: "This pen was the actual one used by LBJ to sign the Civil Rights Bill!"
