Orrin Hatch President Quotations

No, no. I think we have to proceed with the hearings, but we'll have to see. We'll have to see what the president decides to do here,

I don't know anybody at the top of the system, ... who really wants to see the president hurt in this matter.

If I was President Clinton I would want to come and clear the air and answer these questions that are in the mind of the public. This is not going to go away easily, so the best way to answer this is to be straightforward and tell the truth,

I think the president has to do some compromising here, not just the House.

I think the president ought to comply and help here.

When you add the so-called money trail, it's causing people a lot of angst around the country whether there was a quid pro quo here or whether President Clinton responds to money, and, you know, I hope that isn't the case, ... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

A lot of my fellow conservatives are concerned, but they don't know her as I do, ... She's going to basically do what the president thinks she should, and that is be a strict constructionist.

If he comes forth and tells it and does it in the right way and there aren't a lot of other factors to cause the Congress to say this man is unfit for the presidency and should be impeached, then I think the president would have a reasonable chance of getting through this,
