The Mystery of the Autopen – Guess What…There is No Mystery. Let’s take a little trip down history lane—because as I always say: When you know your history, there isn’t much mystery…at least when it comes to your government. So what is the Autopen? It is a machine—a robotic arm with a fixed writing utensil, for the White House always a Sharpie or ink pen, utilized to mimic the exact signature of a sitting president, vice president, and sequential dignitaries per each administration. Since the era of Thomas Jefferson, multiple U.S. presidents have relied on the autopen—though their openness about it has varied. In earlier decades, the White House often denied the device’s use altogether. Today, however, the autopen is more of a poorly kept secret. There were whispers that President Harry Truman used one, while Gerald Ford openly acknowledged incorporating the tool into his workflow. But it was President Lyndon B. Johnson who truly brought it into public view, famously allowing the autopen to be photographed inside the White House. The image even made the front page of The National Enquirer back in 1968 under the bold headline: “The Robot That Sits in for the President.” As a staffer myself I always felt a slight bit of guilt giving a friend a “hand-signed” photograph of the Commander-in-Chief knowing very well I watched it be autopen-ed
