https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/09/politics/joe-biden-stimulus-payments-signature/index.html(CNN) President Joe Biden's signature will not appear on the stimulus checks expected to be sent to Americans once the Covid stimulus plan is passed, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday.
Psaki said during Tuesday's White House press briefing that Biden didn't think the inclusion of his signature on the payments "was a priority or a necessary step. His focus was on getting them out as quickly as possible."
Psaki also said the federal government plans to expand electronic payments, which are "substantially faster" than checks, adding that physical checks will be signed by a career official at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
"We are doing everything in our power to expedite the payments and not delay them, which is why the President's name will not appear on the memo line of this round of stimulus checks ... This is not about him. This is about the American people getting relief, almost 160 million of them," she added.

a signature wont help much anyway. I think about 2/3 of taxpayers e-file with direct deposit, so they were never getting signatures anyway.

How'd he ever get elected?

I really wouldn't be surprised to hear that.
