Franking privilege, typically granted to certain elected officials by a government, including members of congress, is the privilege to send mail for free. A franking privileged person adds his or her signature or a facsimile thereof to the upper right corner of a letter or parcel in lieu of a postage stamp. The practice dates back to the seventeenth-century British House of Commons.
