U.S. President Barack Obama has come under fire for his use of the autopen to sign bills, the Daily Mail reported.

Critics claim that using the mechanical device to write his signature is unconstitutional.

For the first time in U.S. history, Obama authorized the use of the autopen to sign a bill into law on May 26, when he was 3,700 miles away at the G-8 Summit.

奥巴马的签名也有假?

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,美国总统奥巴马近日遭炮轰,只因他用自动签名笔签署法案。

       批评人士认为,使用自动签名笔来签名是违反宪法的。

       5月26日,奥巴马授权以“自动笔”方式签署法案,当时他人在3700英里外的法国参加G8会议,这在美国历史上还是头一次。
