It is important that Miers not be confirmed unless, in her 61st year, she suddenly and unexpectedly is found to have hitherto undisclosed interests and talents pertinent to the court's role. Otherwise the sound principle of substantial deference to a president's choice of judicial nominees will dissolve into a rationalization for senatorial abdication of the duty to hold presidents to some standards of seriousness that will prevent them from reducing the Supreme Court to a private plaything useful for fulfilling whims on behalf of friends.
I played a father a few times. You don't have to shoot heroin to play a heroin addict. . . I'm not running for president but I could play a candidate. Most of the time, you don't really have to have those things in your life to understand what they're like.
If Reince Priebus is, in fact, the chief of staff and operating as chief of staff, he is the most important staffer the president Donald Trump has. And it is not unusual for a president to set up some competing power centers, as Ronald Reagan did, but there`s nothing like being the chief of staff, which has so much say over what the president reads, who the president sees, who`s the last person the president talks to before he makes a decision.
We did drive them [Iran] to the negotiating table. And my successor, John Kerry, and President [Barack] Obama got a deal that put a lid on Iran's nuclear program without firing a single shot. That's diplomacy. That's coalition-building. That's working with other nations.
Botany I rank with the most valuable sciences.
The one thing I'm quite critical of Hillary Clinton for, and it obviously hurt her, is that at some level, the Clintons had to know that she was going to run for president. Why did they feel it necessary to make tens of millions of dollars with speaking engagements? They must have known that it would look grotesque. The word for it is "buckraking. " It's beyond me. I don't understand it.
To those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
Congress in the immigration law gives the president the power to restrict or suspend the entry of people he may deem appropriate.
Some people who've read my story think I had a terrible childhood and that I was neglected or even abused, while others feel that my parents, while certainly flawed, also had truly wonderful qualities. And that's the way it should be, because in real life two people can look at the same president and one will see a hero and the other a villain.
Lula da Silva was my hero when he was president. I Googled him so many times. The fact that he got 20 million people out of poverty. . . that happened by encouraging entrepreneurship, by supporting small business.
Hillary Clinton should be president not because she's a woman but because she's the best for the job. I don't think that any woman should be asked to vote for someone because she's a woman, and that - because the candidate is a woman.
The President scores much better than Bill Clinton.
One of the questions that I often get is, 'Why are you running to be President?'. To Be President! What did I miss? I'm not running to go to Disneyland.
If Hillary Clinton is president of the United States, nothing is going to happen. It's just going to be talk.
What does the vice president do?
President Obama's made the White House really the people's house. People feel like they're welcome.
Imagine if we didn't have a President traveling the world bad mouthing America. . . . that's the UN's job.
We are disappointed at the decision. The president remains fully committed to building a culture of life. . . that is built on valuing life at all stages.
I'm sure the next time Piers Morgan asks me to host his show again I will ask President Obama to be my guest.
President Reagan's one-liners were terrific.
