te he.

David Corn: "Not an "entity within the executive branch"? What branch of government, then, does Cheney's office belong to? I'm no constitutional lawyer, but I believe there are only three possibilities. He's no judge, and he's not a member of Congress. That leaves only the executive branch. Unless, of course, the veep's office transcends the Constitution. Yes, perhaps it's supra-constitutional. Oh heck, why don't we just call him King? But that would create a problem: what to call the president?"

6. He's not a member of the Executive
because the Bush Regime was never elected in the first place. Or the second, for that matter.

For the last 6-1/2 years our govt has been existing outside the framework of the Constitution.
