His was the last imperial vice-presidency. Oops, I meant presidency. Who does Cheney think he is, Richard Nixon? His was the last imperial vice-presidency. Oops, I meant presidency.

And, by the same logic, they aren't part of the Legislative branch, so nothing directed there applies to them. And nobody seems to think they might be part of the Judicial branch, so that's irrelevant, too. So that means, unless a law is written to specifically include the Vice President's Office, they are free to do anything they like. Right? Must be nice.

Obviously Waxman thinks that he's part of the executive branch, and if it is indeed the case that he's part of the legislative then it rewrites hundreds of years of political science. Something tells me that an executive order was never meant to do that. Jared, please provide a link or copy the text into a comment.

Sections 3.5 (A) and (B) clearly exmpt's the VP and his office. I just read all relevent law including the refferent Executive Order. Sections 3.5 (A) and (B) clearly exmpt’s the VP and his office.
