Let me be very proverb
 Let me be very clear: I will never be a rubber-stamp for any President. That would be contrary to the Constitution of the United States. |
| The United States Senate is not here to just staple the paperwork on this deal and then salute it. We've got to go in there with an editing pencil, not a rubber stamp. |
| the president and the vice president tried to use our Constitution and the amendment of that Constitution as a political tool, and the United States Senate, they said, 'No. We will not accept it.' |
John Edwards (1953-)
| Forty-four senators have now voted to dismiss the articles of impeachment, ... The president will not be removed from office. For the good of the country and in keeping with the Constitution it is now time to end this trial. We are here not to protect the president of the United States; we were here to protect the Constitution and we have done so faithfully and fully. |
| If all she was going to do was rubber-stamp the settlement between the Department of Justice and Microsoft and say that the states get nothing, she could have done that in two or three months. I think it means the states are going to get something. |
| One of the most solemn responsibilities of the president--and it's set out expressly in the Constitution--is that the president is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, and that means the Constitution. It means statutes. It means treaties. It means all of the laws of the United States. |
| President Bush's disregard and disrespect for the Constitution are evident, but in America, we are all bound by the rule of law. The president took an oath to 'preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States.' He cannot use a claim of seeking to preserve our nation to undermine the rules that serve as our foundation. The Attorney General, who may have been involved with the formulation of this policy, must appoint an outside special counsel to let justice be served. |
| The president has been very clear we're doing that in a way that is consistent with our values and that is why he's been very clear that the United States will not torture. |
| Under Article 2 of the Constitution, as commander in chief, the president has that authority. The president has the authority under the congressional authorization that was passed and clearly stated that, quote, 'The president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force.' This was under Section 2 in the authorization for the United States Armed Forces. |
| While we have to do what is necessary to defend the country against terrorists and to win the war on terror, the president has been very clear that we're going to do that in a way that is consistent with our values and that is why he has been very clear that the United States will not torture. |
| We've been very clear, the president, the secretary of state and others have made it very clear that the United States has no plans to invade or attack North Korea. |
Jesse Helms (1921-) |  |
| Somebody asked me, 'are you going to be on the side of the little guy?' And you obviously want to give an immediate answer. But as you reflect on it, if the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy is going to win in court before me. But, if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, the big guy is going to win, because my obligation is to the Constitution. That's the oath. The oath that a judge takes is not that 'I'll look out for particular interests' ¦ the oath is to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and that is what I would do. |
