What is the reasoning behind the President using many pens to sign a bill into law?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) August 24th, 2010

I vaguely remember learning that the pen kind of goes down in history as the one that signed that particular document, but I am not sure what happens to the pin afterwards?

My husband says he just saw the president use several pens for one signature, like if I wrote J with one pen, L with another and so on.

What’s the real practice regarding this?
