Famous quotes containing the words nixon and/or presidency:

    When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1992)

    Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I can’t make that kind of use of the office.... I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
