It's the most expansive ordsprog

en It's the most expansive vision of the executive power of a president in our lifetime. To suggest that (Congress has) given him a blanket authority to do what he has done is a vast stretch.

en The executive branch shall construe the provisions that call for furnishing information to entities outside the executive branch in a manner consistent with the president's constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch and to withhold information (from Congress and, of course, the public).

en Literally minutes before the Senate cast its vote, the administration sought to add the words 'in the United States and' after 'appropriate force' in the agreed-upon text. This last-minute change would have given the president broad authority to exercise expansive powers not just overseas -- where we all understood he wanted authority to act -- but right here in the United States , potentially against American citizens . I could see no justification for Congress to accede to this extraordinary request for additional authority. I refused.

en With a president who believes that he has the kind of executive power he thinks he has -- which is wrong, by the way -- that marriage to a Supreme Court nominee who believes in broad, expansive power is extremely dangerous to our system of government. He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin. The most important thing is for the will of the American people to do something about (poverty). I think it's there. What's missing is leadership.

en It has clearly been a pattern in the past few months of Congress intensifying its efforts of looking into how the executive branch has handled executive authority, and this will only intensify. During the 1970s, Congress was also under scrutiny for how it operated; at the same time, it increased its scrutiny of how the White House conducted the war in Vietnam and intelligence. The two go together.

en We're eager to work with Congress on legislation that would further codify the president's authority. We remain committed to our principle, that we will not do anything that undermines the program's capabilities or the president's authority.

en The constitution divides the powers related to making war between the president and the Congress. It gives Congress the power to declare war. It gives Congress the power of the purse.

en The Supreme Court's basic take is that when Congress has said something specific, the president's authority to take action beyond that is at its lowest ebb. This would seem to be right up against that wall. Congress has acted. The president seems to be circumventing it. And that raises an enormous constitutional question.

en A narrow vision is divisive, a broad vision expansive. But a divine vision is all-inclusive.

en This is not an example of a president repealing a provision of a law that Congress has enacted ... but exercising a discretionary authority that Congress has given him,

en Now Congress has always exercised the power of the purse with respect to activities of that sort and regulated the funding for that type of activity. And that's, of course, always been the core of Congress' authority.

en The president is going to suggest some language for us to consider and we are going to work together and try to get a resolution that will have the broadest possible support, ... We are going to be dealing with this from the standpoint of what Congress feels is appropriate to say about the situation and what the president should be able to do.

en It seems perfectly reasonable for the president to want members of the executive branch to be loyal to him and to follow his directions rather than those of the bureaucracies they lead. They will leave their positions when the president leaves. Making a lifetime appointment of a friend to the Supreme Court is a whole different matter.
