I acknowledged that I owed my presidency to People Power. I resolved during my presidency that I would in turn empower the people.

If Donald Trump is just tweeting about a union guy, then he's just being the bully we have seen. But if he uses the power of the presidency to back up some of those tweets and he's really, really coming down with a hammer on people he doesn't like using the power of the presidency, then we're seeing something very new and very different.

David Brooks

There has been so much power concentrated. There is no leash on that power anymore and Americans face the situation that this power is getting momentum with each passing year with each presidency.

James Bovard

The rule of God is not tyranny, for it does not partake of a political or governmental character -- it is not a rule of authority. God is not a governor of the universe, for a governor rules over those of a like nature with himself, and exercises a political and judicial power, while God exercises a creative, a preserving, and a determinative power of an altogether different kind. If I am a servant of God, I am under no tyranny; for God does not govern, but supports, sustains, and directs me.

William Batchelder Greene

The office of the presidency is what's important, no matter who's in it.

Powers Boothe

You cannot denude the presidency of the substance and power of its office. It can't be done.

Benjamin Wittes

There are guys on Tour who hit the ball further than me. I always thought it was important to have power, but more important to have power in reserve.

Tiger Woods

Eventually, Nixon ran a very centrist presidency, not a Goldwater conservative presidency.

Pat Buchanan

To me, the Presidency and the Vice-Presidency were not prizes to be won, but a duty to be done.

Gerald R. Ford

Technology has had more of an impact on the presidency and how the presidency communicates than anything.

Mark McKinnon

The presidency of the Euro group is an interesting and important task.

Wolfgang Schauble

The only way to tyrantproof the presidency is not to elect tyrants to the presidency.

Benjamin Wittes

I think the language of sacrifice is particularly important for societies like the United States in which war remains our most determinative common experience, because states like the United States depend on the story of our wars for our ability to narrate our history as a unified story.
