Famous quotes containing the words check and/or trousers:
“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.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“You should never have your best trousers on when you turn out to fight for freedom and truth.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
