I have a question regarding politics. This should not in anyway start a contoversy cause it isn't that type of question.
I have noticed here in the states that they will televise politicians signing bills into law and other important documents. When they do so I noticed that they have to sign in many different places.
So here is my question ...
I have noticed that each signature is done with a new pen and each pen given to one of the people standing around the politician. Why do they do that?
(see I told you it shouldn't start any problems LOL)

They use different pens so the people attending can have a souvenier of the day. Its a stupid practice, but a lot of times, the bills are suggested by every day people and the politicians think this is a way of repaying them for their good citizenship. Personally, I think that lowering taxes, or increasing social spending would be a better thanks.

I figured it was just for the purpose of having a souvenier but wanted to be sure.
Yeah lower taxes or better care of our people would definitely thank all of us and do so much better.
