What do I write as a "signature"?
Do I write "Susan Doe by John Smith, Attorney in Fact"?

Unless you are also the tax preparer, do not sign as the preparer.
In the signature space, write as you have in your question, using "Attorney in Fact" or "POA".
Attach IRS Form 2848 or equivalent to the return.

I would sign as the taxpayer: Susan Doe by John Doe POA, and then also sign as the tax preparer, and then include a copy of the POA document with the return. That should cover all bases.

You sign your name on the tax form. Not as the preparer. You should include a copy of the POA unless it is already on file with the IRS.
