    "content": "Sorry, hon. Speaker. The import of that amendment is actually more critical than is being revealed. It purports, therefore, to allow retired Presidents to indulge in politics but discriminate against Vice-Presidents, so that they do not get their retirement benefits. If we are to make law, the best law is the law that you are comfortable with when the shoe is in the other foot. If you happen not to be on the ruling side, you should be comfortable with that law in the hands of your worst enemies. That is the best law that we can enact. We should not enact laws for expediency. However, not enough debate was even allowed on that amendment before it was put to a vote. The merits or demerits of it had not been explained properly to all the Members before it was put to a vote. That is the critical part of it."
