Famous quotes containing the words term and/or congressman:
“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.

—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“With all the surgical skill and the vital rays lavished on him he should talk like a—like a congressman at a filibuster.”
