The proposal would prevent the sitting President's signature from appearing on U.S. currency and government securities like Treasury bonds, changing a tradition that has been in place for decades. This would affect all money and bonds issued while a President is in office, requiring the government to use signatures from other officials instead. The change would be primarily symbolic but would alter the appearance of bills and bonds that millions of Americans use and hold.
