Why does the President always use 17 of them to sign 1 bill?

Is there not some room there to cut back to a primary & 1 backup?

I believe they are passed out to the people that were involved in the drafting of the bill.
Or maybe he's just stocking up on pens to sell on his future ebay store .

Oh I see, so they have multiple fingerprint evidence when it comes court time?

They buy the pens from China and only one out of three work and the rest only have enough ink to write a single letter :oo-->

Reminds me of that old joke,

NASA spent $20 million designing an ink pen for use in space, when the Russians brought up a pencil.

You wouldnt be trying to get rid of the great history, culture and traditions of this proud Nation, would you? I mean forget about no Xmas and no prayers in school, this is just plain crazy talk.

Maybe we need to start up a non governmental organization(NGO) to "Save The Pens." :D

Like Still Afloat said, I have always heard they are given out as gifts to the people that sponsored the bill or to other important figures involved.

Personally I think it is dumb, the president should have one personal pen and just use it like a normal person. If I was president I would tell everyone involved that by me signing this and it becoming law is souvenir enough for you, now scram and stop passing stupid shit.

The answer is simple.

These pens cost $2,000 each.

That is all.
