They said something about signing it now would be problematic with programs (they mentioned Medicare) that they are planning to gut, anyway.

He seems to be having trouble holding on to things so maybe they are looking for a big, two-handed pen, for him to use.

The bill is so poorly written that they just realized that they would destroy lots of lives right before Christmas and that would be bad PR.
