He won't be held down to answer any question he doesn't want to.

He won't answer a series of pointed questions he doesn't want to.

He is staking out a position that is essentially meaningless - of course he won't vote on a bill that won't pass. He excels at this.

Your best question, and one I think he would respond to, is "How do you know when the president is telling you the truth?"
