Here's where bureaucratic habit may come into the chat. One might suppose that the use of the auto-pen needs to be documented according to when and for what, according to whose authority (i.e., the President). How does the President establish a documentary record of his approval? Voice only? Only so good as the paper it is not printed on. "His Mark"? Then who will witness and testify that it was Biden who made the mark? His signature? Very good. Where is it?
I'm going through this charade to anticipate that they do not have butt-squat for documentation as to whether or how the auto-pen was used, by whom, for what, or anything. I'm pretty sure that "trust me, bro" is not going to stand as an adequate response.
