All I can say to that is: that explains a lot.
Every president, from Washington on down, has said those words. They didn't all do so; not even the FFs.
You might want to do a little more reading into this nation's history before coming to that conclusion. Indeed, the office of president has traditionally been so limited that, until Wilson came along, the president didn't even suggest legislation to Congress. Wilson bent the rules by arguing the standard Progressive line of a "living constitution," and then FDR took this as a license to revolutionize the presidency away from the constitution.
That's the kind of thing I thought we were all fighting against.
