If Sam Harris is the attorney-in-fact for Christopher Hitchens he would sign Christopher's name on the document and underneath the signature line he would add "by Sam Harris as attorney-in-fact for Christopher Hitchens". The reason the person with the POA signs the principal's name is that the attorney-in-fact is standing in for the principal and therefore signs the principal's name to the document.
