Elected Vice President

Famous quotes containing the words elected, vice and/or president:

    The first lady is, and always has been, an unpaid public servant elected by one person, her husband.
    Lady Bird Johnson (b. 1912)

    There is no vice so simple but assumes
    Some mark of virtue on his outward parts.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There can only be one Commander-in-Chief. In these times, crises cannot be managed and wars cannot be waged by committee. To the ears of the world, the President speaks for the nation. While he is of course ultimately accountable to Congress, the courts, and the people, he and his emissaries must not be handicapped in advance in their relations with foreign governments as has sometimes happened in the past.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
