"Are we going to take the hands of the federal government completely off any effort to adjust the growing of national crops, and go right straight back to the old principle that every farmer is a lord of his own farm and can do anything he wants, raise anything, any old time, in any quantity, and sell any time he wants?" -- Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd US President Source: May 31, 1935 press conference, responding to a Supreme Court decision that defined the commerce clause narrowly enough to interfere with his regulation of farm products http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Franklin.Roosevelt.Quote.D053
"The constitutionality and propriety of the Federal Government assuming to enter into a novel and vast field of legislation, namely, that of providing for the care and support of all those … who by any form of calamity become fit objects of public philanthropy. ... I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for making the Federal Government the great almoner of public charity throughout the United States. To do so would, in my judgment, be contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution and subversive of the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded." -- Franklin Pierce (1804-1869) U.S. President Source: May 3, 1854, President vetoed a bill http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Franklin.Pierce.Quote.A26D
