Famous quotes containing the words written and/or constitution:

“The very ink in which history is written is merely fluid prejudice.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“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.”
