Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I shall ask this special session to consider immediately certain important legislation which my recent trip through the nation convinces me the American people immediately need."

"I do hereby exempt George T. Summerlin from the provisions thereof and continue him in the service for such time as may be deemed necessary not beyond the close of business November 30, 1942."

"But the Congress is an essential instrument of democratic government; and democratic government can never 'be considered an intruder into the affairs of a democratic nation."

"Americans realize these facts."
