a bully pulpit or petition
Roosevelt
The term "bully pulpit" had nothing to do with bullying as we know the term. Back when Theodore Roosevelt was president, the term bully meant "wonderful," and Roosevelt was saying that the post of president was an "ideal" position to use for promoting an agenda. A related phrase from that era which survives to this day is "bully for you." That actually means "good for you."
Roosevelt use the bully pulpit pulpit to promote the Square Deal by using the technique in The coal strike of 1902, where he intervened in the strike to protect the interests of the workers and the public. He used Square Deal as his campaign slogan, and the framework for his entire presidency.
I believe Teddy Roosevelt coined the term "bully pulpit." Does that count?
This phrase, used by Theodore Roosevelt, refers to the office of presidency. A pulpit is a place to preach from and "bully" is an older adjective meaning excellent. Therefore a bully pulpit is a great place to make speeches from . Roosevelt appreciated the fact that people listened to him when he spoke as the President.
What he meant was that being President made people listen to what he had to say. The presidency was like a pulpit- he could figuratively stand up and preach to his congregation, the American people, and his words carried authority. "bully" here means excellent or splendid.
