Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I deem myself obliged to disapprove this bill on the ground that there is an almost complete failure to state any facts that should entitle the claimant to a pension."

"My objection to this bill is that it is of no possible advantage to the beneficiary therein mentioned."

"I return without approval House bill No. 3624, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Fred. J. Leese.'"

"There does not appear on the records any evidence of disability."
