Presidential Popular Votes

Famous quotes containing the words presidential, popular and/or votes:

    “Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes.”
    —Kelvin MacKenzie (b. 1946)

    “If you can get enough votes so that mine will make a majority, you can have it.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
