Channeling Nixon?

Can anyone point out to me any qualitative difference between these two statements?

Former President Richard Nixon, about Watergate:

"When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”


Former Secretary of State within the George W. Bush administration Condoleezza Rice, regarding waterboarding:

"By definition, if it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the Conventions Against Torture."

Sirocco,
This is the only way I know to reach you as I expect this results in an email.

Regarding your post today (6/25) at my place, what biopic? Would you please elaborate?

Very good, Sirocco. You had me going there for awhile. Yes, I'm sure the film is atrocious.
