A signing ceremony is a

veto statement that invalidates a legislative measure.[4][5][6]

The act of electronically signing a document may be referred to as a signing ceremony.[7][8][9] The act of physically signing a signature is seen as adding gravitas[10][11] to the moment.[12][13]

acts of Parliament. Signing ceremonies became an aspect of American politics.[citation needed

Signing ceremonies may be performed by U.S. state governors upon signing a state document (generally an act of the state legislature, making it into state law) or by the President of the United States (generally making an act of Congress into federal law). The President typically invites Congressional leaders who were instrumental in the bill's passage as well as interested community members.[citation needed]

The practice of using multiple pens was briefly stopped during the presidency of Donald Trump, who preferred to sign the bills with one Sharpie-like pen and then hold up the signed document for a photo op. Joe Biden intermittently continued the practice of using multiple pens before reverting to using one pen in late 2021.[citation needed]

Signing ceremonies are associated with acts that are viewed as legislative triumphs for the executive. Conversely, laws that are passed reluctantly or are controversial are often signed into law quietly and privately without ceremony.[citation needed]

Non-government usage

Signing ceremonies may be performed by non-government signatories for purposes including the signing of a contract[14] or will.[15] Signing ceremonies can attest to significant events, such as a beam-signing ceremony to mark a construction milestone.[16][17]
