In the post-Watergate atmosphere of 1975 and 1976, the just-plain-folks personalities of both Ford and Carter seemed the perfect antidote to Nixon's arrogant, isolated presidency. But as alert history-minded readers know, Ford and Carter were both rebuffed by voters in their efforts to hold on to the presidency.

Jeff Greenfield

I am very glad as well that it is a presidency built on a campaign that emphasized ideas. I hope it will be a presidency that will enable everybody to be part of and proud of.

Michael D. Higgins

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

Benjamin Wittes

Well, it seems to me Lincoln, I suppose, is kind of a model of a particular sort of presidency, a presidency that first of all is elected by a minority of the votes.

David Herbert Donald

You have an imperial presidency that makes Richard Nixon look like a boy scout.

Allen West

Nixon officials foreshadowed both the historic distinction and seamy underside of the presidency.

Roger Morris

The anti-slavery parties were also called spoilers, including the Republican party that went on not just to abolish slavery but they actually take over the Presidency moving very quickly from third-party into the Presidency.

Jill Stein

Any candidate who'd offered a real possibility of an alternative to Nixon - someone with a different concept of the presidency - could have challenged him and come very close to beating him.

Hunter S. Thompson

[Former chief executives] come away thinking that America needs a strong, functioning presidency to succeed, and they become very protective of that office. Democrats and Republicans alike are willing to put aside their own party's self-interest to preserve the presidency. That's been true over the decades.

Nancy Gibbs

The presidency of the United States is a very unique elected position. So if anything merits a longer vetting process, the presidency does to some extent. In general our election cycles are too long, but this job is so consequential that I don't think it's a bad thing to give people more time to get to know you.

John Delaney

I ran [for presidency] because I knew what trouble our country was in.

Donald Trump

If you have not chosen me by secret ballot, neither have I gained office by any secret promises. I have not campaigned either for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. I have not subscribed to any partisan platform. I am indebted to no man, and only to one womanmy dear wifeas I begin this very difficult job.

Gerald R. Ford

I know that given great responsibility men sometimes change, but Mr. Nixon's Presidency would worry me.

Eleanor Roosevelt

There is no basis to say I'm being coy about running for president. If I chose to explore the presidency, I wouldn't do it in a backward way. I'll say, 'I'm exploring the presidency.'

Mario Cuomo
