Cheney: Vice President’s Office is Not Part of the Executive Branch
June 22nd, 2007The make-it-up-according-to-our-whims phase.
Via: RawStory:
The Office of Vice President Dick Cheney told an agency within the National Archives that for purposes of securing classified information, the Vice President’s office is not an ‘entity within the executive branch’ according to a letter released Thursday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
“The Oversight Committee has learned that over the objections of the National Archives, you exempted the Office of the Vice President from the presidential executive order that establishes a uniform, government-wide system for safeguarding classified national security information,” Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), the Committee’s chairman, wrote in a letter to Cheney. “Your decision to exempt your office from the President’s order is problematic because it could place national security secrets at risk. It is also hard to understand given the history of security breaches involving officials in your office.”
Waxman noted that Cheney’s office had declared itself not affected by an executive order amended by President George W. Bush in 2003 regarding classification and declassification of government materials.
I thought the Vice President was there as a Rock for the President, I didn’t realise he had to have a covert Administration of his own.
Surely that would cause Endless Conflicts?
Quite obviously Bush and Cheney didn’t even read the Constituition before they shredded it and used it for toilet paper.
I predict a device going off just before the 2008 elections, it seems as if our second in command is setting himself up to be our great leader.

Dick Cheney is going insane. Except he has nukes.
