Can a legal challenge be launched to keep Trump's signature off the currency?

I know—or at least I hope—that the next Democratic president will undo everything Trump has done, like putting his name on things. I also hope they make him pay for the costs of those changes and for restoring the White House. In the meantime, can anyone challenge the ' signature on currency'?

I will leave it as a tip, or whatever, or ask for an older dollar.

stamp that people could use to stamp "Stamp Money Out of Politics" in large red letters across dollar bills. I actually did it for a while. It was a good idea.

I think you can just refuse to use it and claim you question its legitimacy. That's what I'll be doing. I refuse to use those stamps with richard nixon's mug on them too.

I know some Native Americans who refuse to use $20 bills because jackson is on them.

"#TRUMPTREASON" on the front. When they come out with his signature, I'll start redacting his sig. Force the Fed to take them out of circulation.

and redact his signature and cross out his face. I think that is appropriate.
Some have said they will write pedophile, child f*cker, traitor, or many other examples on the bills.

Individuals, though, not so much.

The question is whether a case will be brought in federal court. I don't know.

and made it clear that the reason was you wanted your money before ass-face defiled it?

Would a "run on the banks" get their fucking attention?
