I will make a general statement that we have not had anything like the policy of holding people in high office responsible for their acts that I think we should.

It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.

In general, any incoming administration must carefully examine ('vet') its nominees for high public office.

I get standing ovations at meetings when I say Britain should be involved in human spaceflight. Unfortunately, that goal has been blocked by a handful of people in high office.

The challenge is high. The stakes are important. I think it's manageable.

In today's U.S., it's possible for almost anyone - women, gays, African-Americans, Jews - to run for, and be elected to, high office.
