Of course this continues for important documents today such as Congressional bills and foreign treaties. But early presidents signed everything from military commissions to land grants. By the early 1830 s, in Jackson s 2 nd term, the chore had finally gotten out of hand. In March 1833 to relieve this burden, Congress passed a law authorizing the president to appoint a special secretary to sign land documents, in essence, to legally forge the president s signature. This document is a rare example of an actual authentic signature by President Andrew Jackson from his 2 nd term in office, which today are highly desirable and exceedingly difficult to come by.
