Dick Cheney
"There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don�t know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president."
Kurt Vonnegut
"No one who has not had the responsibility can really understand what it is like to be President, not even his closest aides or members of his immediate family. There is no end to the chain of responsibility that binds him, and he is never allowed to forget that he is President."
Harry Truman

Eleanor Roosevelt

Barbara Bush
"A President either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt that I could let up for a single moment."
Harry Truman
"You are apprehensive of monarchy; I, of aristocracy. I would therefore have given more power to the President and less to the Senate."
John Adams
"No easy problem ever comes to the President of the United States. If they are easy to solve, somebody else has solved them."
John F. Kennedy
"Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president."
Johnny Carson
"We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country."
Dan Quayle
"You may think the President is all-powerful, but he is not. He needs a lot of guidance from the Lord."
Barbara Bush
