"It's not illegal if the government does it." Richard Nixon


The way I remember it is "It is not illegal if the President does it"

"In part 3, Frost asked Nixon whether the president could do something illegal in certain situations such as against antiwar groups and others if he decides "it's in the best interests of the nation or something". Nixon replied: "Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal, by definition."
