If memory serves, the last time the Vice President claimed he was not subject to anyone's review or oversight, someone in Congress filed a bill to halt Congress's funding of the Office of The Vice President. Mr. Cheney changed his tune fairly quickly after that manuever. His assertions would be comical if they were not so brazenly insulting. But, then, to quote the man in question: "SO?"

It wouldn't make a bit of difference, but why doesn't congress hold his checks to show him what's up? A man with an ego like Dicks would make a good show

Unfortunately - it is ignored so far - let's hope for good cause.
P.S.
Cheney's lawyer needs to be disbarred and imprisoned. Remember the Hilary scandal we read about here where she hid documents from the court's legal library to get over with a fraudulent brief?
What's the difference? HIlary - Cheney? Same games, same tactics, same BS.

Article. II.
Section. 4."The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
There's been a lot of amendments to the constitution, but this one hasn't changed.

Riiiigggghhhhtttttttt Dick! Just because he says it you know. It must be true.
Is there a lack of balls in Congress or what? Where are all those women with balls in Congress? Why aren't they determined to route out this ball-less excuse of a man?
I proclaimed Cheney is a member of my tree-house club and is therefore completely responsible to my tree-house club and all it's rules. I'll have my lawyer right a brief and send it over right away.

Has no one else thought about the precedent this is sending? If he goes unchecked and this argument holds, what's to stop the next VP from doing the same thing? He'll be backed up by the fact that nothing was done to prove Cheney wrong, and then hey, while we're at it, let's just give him the job indefinitely. Hell, why not make the presidency a permanent position as well? I mean, since we're constantly involved in some war here or there, we need the stability of a constant figurehead to lead us through these tough times... This slope isn't slippery, its a mudslide. America is heading in the wrong direction, and it's gonna take alot of others with it...

This Congress has failed the oath it took to reign in these criminals. They need a refresher course in why there are three branches of government and the duties of THEIR branch...on second thought, forget it...let's just impeach them all.

See, we can take it back, it is possible. Cheney could be held accountable, but we the PEOPLE have to step up and MAKE it happen. We have to stand up for our rights, IMPEACH those bastards, and let whoever steps into the White House in January know in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that they cannot take our country away from us. We must actually participate for that to happen, though, so get out and petition, vote, and create a sense of fear OF the people by the government!

how did the country re-elect bush and Cheney, are the republicans so stupid they cannot see through them or do they just turn a blind eye too them because ehhh its better than a democrat, almost everyone in bush's admin should be sent to prison and never released for the harm they have caused this country, better yet send them to Iraq or Iran.

He's his own fully fledged Dick, he's already made clear that's he's his own 4th branch of goverment between the executive and legislative since he has the powers included in both but is accountable to niether.
Just as Jon Stewart showed he's a hybrid with the duties of a Dark Lord of the Sith and the power of the Evil Eye of Sauron without being answerable to either.
It doesn't get anymore evil than that.

So before he said he wasn't liabe to Executive branch laws because he was really a part of congress, and now he decides it's the other way around? I guess the vice presidency exists in an alternate reality where up is down, then up again, then down, however Cheney wants it.

They better get him out of there. His time is limited and he doesn't want anyone else left standing if he has to go. More truth than fiction there.

Check out 'Cheney's Law' a Frontline documentary. I saw it a few months ago on PBS and it's pretty messed up but in a completely true and sad way.

If you think he has follow anything as mundane as laws , then you just don't know Dick.
Unfortunately Congress hasn't openly acknowledged the fact that Dick Cheney is the Root Of All Evil even if Patton Oswald already proved it.
I guess they're too afraid to do more than cower before him, since doing anything about it is just asking to be shot in the face and then having to apologize for getting in the way.
