US paper currency will soon feature President Donald Trump’s signature going forward, the US Treasury Department announced Thursday, the latest of the president’s efforts to leave his mark across the federal government. It will be the first time a sitting US president’s signature has appeared on paper notes. Those plans have raised legal questions because it’s against US law to display the image of a sitting president or living former president on currency. A sitting president is not prohibited from appearing on commemorative coins. Democrats in Congress have introduced legislation to prohibit any living or sitting president from being featured on any US currency.
