Summary

This quote suggests that the decision to bless a marriage should be left to the local congregation rather than being determined by the government. It emphasizes the belief that the institution of marriage carries a spiritual significance that should be solely determined within religious communities. It implies that governmental bodies should not have the authority to define or regulate the sanctity of marriage, as it is ultimately a personal and religious matter. Ultimately, the quote expresses a preference for decentralizing the power to decide which marriages are considered blessed by God.

The legislative job of the President is especially important

The legislative job of the President is especially important to the people who have no special representatives to plead their cause before Congressand that includes the great majority. I sometimes express it by saying the President is the only lobbyist that one hundred and fifty million Americans have. The other twenty million are able to employ people to represent themand thats all right, its the exercise of the right of petitionbut someone has to look after the interests of the one hundred and fifty million that are left.
