Ever hear of a Democrat named Grover Cleveland? He once vetoed a bill providing $50,000 for drought relief in Texas. President Cleveland held that Congress had no constitutional authority for such a disbursement since the general welfare clause only modified the enumerated powers--it was not itself an enumerated power.

Grover Cleveland (D) served four terms as president. George Bush (R) wouldn't be fit to carry Cleveland's water.

As President of what country? FDR was the only American President elected to four terms, although he only served a small portion of his fourth. What years did Cleveland serve as President? I think you mispoke.
