Put up with papers penned by president (5)
I believe the answer is:
abide
'put up with' is the definition.
('abide' can be a synonym of 'put up with')
'papers penned by president' is the wordplay.
'papers' becomes 'id' (identification papers).
'penned by' indicates putting letters inside.
'president' becomes 'abe' (Abraham (Abe) Lincoln).
'id' going into 'abe' is 'ABIDE'.
(Other definitions for abide that I've seen before include "Stomach" , "Stay - suffer" , "Endure; dwell" , "Tolerate - dwell" , "Live, dwell (archaic)" .)
