Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I was constrained to return without approval a bill identical with the one herewith returned."

"To hold that a man engaged on a vessel transporting recruits to a rendezvous should be allowed the same advantages as those actually engaged in military operations is establishing a bad precedent."

"It seemed to me at that time that the soldier's death could not be held to be the result of his wound or any other cause chargeable to his military service."

"Upon reexamination I am still of the same opinion, which leads me to again return the bill under consideration without approval."
