Joe Biden says 'personal ambition' couldn't prevent 'saving our democracy'

Joe Biden has said he couldn't let his "personal ambition" stand in the way of "saving our democracy" in a live address to the nation from the Oval office - his first speech since announcing his decision to drop out of the presidential race.

The 81-year-old, who abandoned his bid for a second term in the White House amid widespread concerns over his fitness, said it has been "the honour of my life to serve you as president".

Something like that is such a basic principal that it really should not need to be said: but perhaps he isn’t referring to himself, but to the various wives of ex-presidents who think they could do a better job than their husbands did

-->> book (n.)
Origin and meaning of book
Middle English bok, from Old English boc "book, writing, written document, " generally referred (despite phonetic difficulties) to Proto-Germanic *bōk(ō)-, from *bokiz "beech" (source also of German Buch "book" Buche "beech;" see beech), the notion being of beechwood tablets on which runes were inscribed; but it may be from the tree itself (people still carve initials in them).
