Veto Player

Famous quotes containing the words veto and/or player:

“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.

—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
