Quotes

  • We will submit legislation to the United States Senate which will...authorize the Congress to undertake judicial review of those signing statements with the view to having the president’s acts declared unconstitutional.
  • There ought to be a million-person march on the Mall... that can be heard in the living quarters of the White House.
  • We're all looking for a plan that will work. The current plan is not working, and 21,500 additional troops -- it's a snowball in July. It's not going to work.
  • I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider. The decider is a shared and joint responsibility.
