Text Quotes
Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.  (Congress Quotes) Congress can grant a waiver [for General James Mattis ] and has done that once in history  (Congress Quotes) The security intended to the general liberty consists in the frequent election and in the rotation of the members of Congress.  (Congress Quotes) Women oftentimes are the ones making those economic decisions, sitting around the kitchen table and trying to figure out how to pay for rising gas prices or food prices or the health insurance costs. And I think that they see where they expect their leaders in Congress to also make those tough decisions.  (Congress Quotes) During the darkest days of the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress and George Washington - I call him the first George W. - (laughter and applause) - urged citizens to pray and to give thanks and to ask for God’s protection.  (Congress Quotes) I can see it now: Osama bin Laden goes up to the pearly gates where George Washington comes out, starts beating him and is then joined by 70 other members of the Continental Congress. Osama will say, Hey, wait! Where are my 71 virgins? And George will reply It’s 71 Virginians, you asshole!  (Congress Quotes) When I first ran for Congress, I went to my daughter Alexandra, who was going to be a senior in high school, and said: ‘I have a chance to run. I may not win, but I’d be gone three nights a week. So, if you want me to stay, I’ll be happy to.’ And do you know what she said to me? ‘Mother, get a life!’  (Congress Quotes) The president doesn’t get a line-item veto, so all the budgetary approps stuff is with Congress.  (Congress Quotes) We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.  (Congress Quotes) The new Congress needs to move quickly to strengthen the Army and Marines - not to send more troops to Iraq - but to rebuild our capacity to meet national security threats globally.  (Congress Quotes) We should go forward in courts and Congress with investigations into post-9/11 interrogations and the decisions leading to them.  (Congress Quotes) Disease, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere, or a cataclysmic earthquake, I’d accept with some despair, but no, you sent us Congress! Good God, Sir, was that fair?  (Congress Quotes) Not a single time have we gotten a right from Congress or from the President. We get them from God.  (Congress Quotes) Judge [Samuel Alito], there’s a genuine struggle going on well beyond you, well beyond the Congress, in America about how to read the Constitution.  (Congress Quotes) I think that Goldman Sachs and the Pentagon determine more of America’s outcome then any president or any congress, that sounds a bit cynical, but I think I am right.  (Congress Quotes) Hillary’s explanation of the Libyan action to Congress was so good, I wonder who explained it to her?  (Congress Quotes) We saw what happened in Jimmy Carter’s administration. President Carter was a good man with the best of intentions. But he came to Washington without a good working relationship with Democratic members of Congress, which played a big part in his administration’s problems.  (Congress Quotes) A lot about Congress is about forming good working relationships with people, and humor can really help you do that.  (Congress Quotes) I could run for Congress. Why not? Good heavens, if Ronald Reagan can be president, I ought to make a great secretary of the treasury.  (Congress Quotes) I always felt the gifts you need as governor were more suited for my personality. I’m a good team player, but I’m not a policy wonk. In Congress, you need 218 votes to make anything happen. When you’re governor, you’re the CEO of the state. You establish the vision and standards for the state. You’re the leader.  (Congress Quotes) The jam is moving toward the Capitol where Congress sits in judgment on all the administrative agencies of Government.  (Congress Quotes) Under my contract with the American voter, we are proposing a series of ethics reforms on day one to end government corruption. They include a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.  (Congress Quotes) The White House doesn’t create jobs. The government together - White House, Congress - creates policies that allow for greater job creation.  (Congress Quotes) As Congress debates overhauling the nation’s health care system, it should not authorize a reform plan that would further our financial woes. We must avoid creating an unsustainable government program. There is no question that reform is needed, but health care can be made more affordable without massive and expensive new bureaucracies.  (Congress Quotes) Having said that, I believe we must not compound the natural disaster of Katrina by creating a fiscal disaster in Congress - it is our duty to ensure that we reign in other government spending in any event, and especially in this time of national emergency.  (Congress Quotes) In 2001, Congress passed much needed tax relief to allow Americans to keep more of their hard earned money and spend it as they see fit - rather than how the federal government sees fit.  (Congress Quotes) Serving in Congress is the great honor of my professional life. I am deeply grateful to the people of the 4th Congressional District for placing their trust in me.  (Congress Quotes) We have, or have had women presidents or prime ministers in Liberia, Chile, Germany, Great Britain...and yet the US of A still hasn’t had a women president. It’s just beyond my thinking. Look at Congress...  (Congress Quotes) There are a lot of people in Congress who would never have made a great career or fortune in any other profession. But after they spend a while hanging out with the rich guys, they begin to feel they’ve been undervalued, and that an eventual seven-figure income as a lobbyist isn’t just an opportunity, it’s their due.  (Congress Quotes) We’re sad about some of the losses of members of great seniority and distinction in the Congress, and some very new members, who will no longer be serving with us.  (Congress Quotes)
