ss.7.c.3.8 Executive Branch

“You know the President of the United States is not a magician
who can wave a wand or sign a paper that will instantly end a
war, cure a recession, or make a bureaucracy disappear.”
- Gerald Ford

"The presidency has made every man who occupied it-
no matter how small, bigger than he was;
and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands."
- Lyndon B. Johnson
