Presidential signature: co-Habitation

Sign off: What all those executive orders, and other bills brought before him, require in order to put them into law, force, necessitated...

No signature required: At least not most of the time you are volunteering your time, talents, such as in helping to build houses for those who have none...

Signature Traits: Those an experienced handwriting analyst might conject about, as well as those one might be best known for...including his wide smile, accompanied by Plain speaking (only makes sense, since he hailed from...), and his actual signature, which speaks to me "Please, just call me Jimmy" -- a phrase he would repeat when completing the feat of co-habiting in the U.S. and Canada, while having the lovely Rosalynn at his side, back-and-forth, as if he was an ambassador, of Good Will, at Habitat for Humanity sites, in both countries, near my home town, in 2005, at the young-ish age of 81 (an experienced wood-worker who would keep swinging, a 'mean hammer' at an age when most octogenarians would opt for sitting it out...)...

"It is written" And history galore, including in print, in his library, is already replete with Presidential rankings. But when it comes down to the phrase "When you did for the least of these, brothers and sisters, you did unto me" I can't think of anyone, President or common citizen alike, that outranks James Earl Carter. I can only imagine the look on his face when the gates of his new home open with the words, "Good will, well done...home James". Jimmy Carter, laid to rest (probably not for long, if his life on earth is any indication).
