Full Text (Extract Text): Bob Dole: I don't think it means anything, legally, but I think it's highly significant because it's a recognition by the Senate that, despite 30 days of debate, we've never really been trying to undercut or undermine — or in any way impair or impugn — the constitutional rights and powers of the president. Now, I think in all candor, we should point out we couldn't do it in any event, but there have been questions raised by many Senators, myself included, whether or not this might have been an effort to, in some way, embarrass the president or detract from his powers, and this is a clear recognition and that's not the case.; Bob Dole: I don't think it means anything, legally, but I think it's highly significant because it's a recognition by the Senate that, despite 30 days of debate, we've never really been trying to undercut or undermine — or in any way impair or impugn — the constitutional rights and powers of the president.
