I'm presidentially approved, yo. Suck it.

'Presidentially approved'?

I suppose I was the President.

I am afraid my second term was no great record of achievement. Gladly, the history books rarely deem it worthy of mention, so my good name is kept intact.

Though you may apply the seal where you wish, it was not used in my presidency; we had no seal for the President until the year 1880, unless I miss my mark.

We did have a national seal, of course. I admit I would have found a seal particularly for the President reminiscent of the British monarchy. Prudent to distance ourselves from that.

You do not need my approval nor my affinity to choose or legitimize your path through life, Miss Callahan; it is made legitimate by you and you alone. Moreover, I'm afraid that I am not the angel of revolutionary ideals the textbooks would have me be. It would be a falsehood to imply such.
