It could be but probably isn't.

Generally, no, but there are procedures to use if someone is not capable of signing. In some cases they can use an "X" and have others attest and in some cases where the person cannot sign in any way, they can direct that the instrument be executed.

Without WHO's signature? The principal certainly has to sign the POA. The agent, however, does not.
