Quote: [It was a time when people were talking about “the imperial presidency.” I knew very well that the 900-pound gorilla in Washington is not the presidency. It’s Congress. If Congress can get its act together, it can roll over the president. That’s what the framers thought. They said you have to enlist your jealousy against the legislature in a democracy—that will be the source of tyranny. ... Reporter asks: But weren’t you just saying that you learned from Watergate that presidents aren’t incorruptible? ... What, and Congress is? I mean, they’re all human beings. Power tends to corrupt. But the power in Washington resides in Congress, if it wants to use it. It can do anything—it can stop the Vietnam War, it can make its will felt, if it can ever get its act together to do anything.] Real Power is in the Congress... if it can ever get its act together to do anything... But, unfortunately... They are (highly) corruptible people, which necessitates term limits! What we need is the "Nuclear Vote"... Replace everyone in Congress and start over! , Vote every one of them out!
