World Congress

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or congress:

    The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
