Government

The actions of the Government of Syria constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security.

I hereby expand the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338.

I'm proud to announce key members of my national security team.

I cannot unilaterally change the law.

I know that you've been looking forward to returning home to Sylvia and your beautiful Monterey, so I thank you for taking on yet another assignment for our country.

We still got work to do.

I get, as many of you know, 10 letters a night from citizens all across the country.

We do not have time for this kind of silliness.

We've made enormous progress, but those letters tell me that we haven't made enough.

The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the use of force by the Syrian Government against demonstrators.

We strongly oppose the Syrian Government's treatment of its citizens.

What we've done here has been historic, and we're only a quarter of the way through.

We've got to finish what we started.

The only way we're going to deal with a serious fiscal reform is if we do it in a bipartisan way.

Social Security will definitely be there when you retire.

Legislative efforts that significantly impede the President's ability to exercise his supervisory and coordinating authorities violate the separation of powers.

You are further authorized and directed to make necessary arrangements to fund the exercise of these functions and authority from the proper appropriation.
