Famous quotes containing the words ordinary and/or congress:
“Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“The veto is a President’s Constitutional right, given to him by the drafters of the Constitution because they wanted it as a check against irresponsible Congressional action. The veto forces Congress to take another look at legislation that has been passed. I think this is a responsible tool for a president of the United States, and I have sought to use it responsibly.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
