Battlestar Galactica, Season 1

Roslin:
You have committed me to holding elections within the year.

Apollo:
Madam President, with respect. You are serving out the remainder of President Adar's term. When that term is up, in seven months, the law says, there is an election. I only committed you to obeying the law.

Adama:
You sound like some kind of lawyer.

Roslin:
This is unacceptable.

Apollo:
I swore an oath. To defend the articles. The articles say there is an election in seven months. Now, if you are telling me we are throwing out the law, then I am not a captain, you are not a commander, and you are not the president. And I don't owe either of you a damned explanation for anything.

Roslin:
He's your son.

Adama:
He's your advisor.
