Original Note:
The referenced 2005 DoJ decision concludes that autopen is legally valid for bills under Article I, Sec 7 of the Constitution, and does not address the requirements for signing presidential pardons under Article II, Sec 2. Thus, having no bearing on the question at hand. https://www.justice.gov/olc/opinion/whether-president-may-sign-bill-directing-his-signature-be-affixed-it
