Government Quote by Dwight David Eisenhower

“We are proud because from the beginning of this nation man can walk upright no matter who he is or who she is. He can walk upright and meet his friend or his enemy... And he does not fear that, because that enemy may be in a position of great power... that he can be suddenly thrown in jail to rot here without charges and with no recourse to justice. We have the Habeas Corpus Act and we respect it.”
