George W. Bush

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America and pursuant to the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, 5U.S.C. 3345 et seq., it is hereby ordered that:

We're constantly reviewing our strategy as to how to defeat the enemy.

Our military is making a significant difference in providing relief and aid and help and compassion for those who have suffered.

Extending the waiver of section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act is necessary to support United States efforts to counter international terrorism.

I can assure you that those who have been helped by our military appreciate America.

I am pleased with the response from around the world, appreciate so many nations understanding that we must work together to defeat these killers.

I encourage all of our citizens to dedicate their time and talents to mentoring a young person.

We will not accept rolling back the accountability systems in the No Child Left Behind Act, because I believe the accountability systems are beginning to make a huge difference in the lives of children from all walks of life across this…

One mentor can change a life forever.

I want to thank the teachers who are here. You've got a tough job, but you have a vital job.

I believe the Federal Government has a role to play in primary education, and I believe the Federal Government has a role to play in secondary education.

We're not interested in mediocrity. We're interested in excellence, so not one single child is left behind in our country.

The principal of this great school said we spell hope: R-E-A-D.

Social Security is sound for today's seniors and for those nearing retirement, but it needs to be fixed for younger workers – our children and grandchildren.

One of the tests of leadership is to confront problems.

More and more retirees have taken out money relative to the number of people putting money in.

You realize that this system of ours is going to be short the difference between obligations and money coming in by about $11 trillion, unless we act.

Most younger people in America think they'll never see a dime.

We have an issue with Social Security. We have a problem.

I want to talk about why we have an issue with Social Security.

Promoting ownership in America makes sense to me.

Doing nothing to fix our Social Security system will cost us, as well as our children and grandchildren, an estimated $10.4 trillion.

By the time today's workers who are in their mid-twenties begin to retire, the system will be bankrupt.

I see a problem. I also see a solution.

I think running up payroll taxes will slow down economic growth.
