President Roosevelt proved that a president could serve for life. Truman proved that anyone could be elected. Eisenhower proved that your country can be run without a president.
— Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964
JFK proved that it coud actually be dangerous, at times, for the country to HAVE a president.
I heard this line added to the Khrushchev quote by a comedian shortly after the Missile Crises was resolved.
