I remember that scene from the Nixon Watergate resignation, with General Alexander Haig huffing and puffing, in a press conference shortly after the announcement of RMN's resignation, "I'm in charge here!"

I believe it was when Haig was SOS under Reagan he said that.

I believe Travis is correct. IIRC, Haig said it in the aftermath and confusion after Hinckley shot President Reagan, and the "Who's in charge" debate began.

Correct! I also believe that Haig only meant that he was in charge at the White House at that time.....not in charge of the country.
