Whats the deal with all the pens the presidents use when signing legislation?

Tip for best answer: M$0.80
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

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!"

Here is an interesting site about Presidential pens in general: http://www.loringpage.com/attpensetc/penbookupdate.html
