"I often said Nancy Pelosi was the best Speaker of the House in American history - it's why I awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

She has devoted much of her life to this country, and America will always be grateful. Jill and I wish Nancy and Paul all the best."
"Nancy Pelosi has inspired generations. Her courage and conviction to San Francisco, California, and our nation has set the standard for what public service should be. Her impact on this nation is unmatched. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Wishing you the best in this new chapter-you've more than earned it."
"In her years of public service, Nancy Pelosi made every day count and moved mountains for San Francisco and our nation. Her example is a guiding light to me and millions of others as we face the extreme challenges ahead."
