Is it because he want to hide this fact from the Democratic Congress: The GOP Congress ignored the fact that Cheney's office was involved in securing a $7 billion no-bid contract for Halliburton, which Cheney headed before becoming VP. The Republicans ignored Cheney's refusal to provide information about his energy task force, which developed policy for the Administration in secret while working with energy company executives?

Aaahhh, I just think he's having a temper tantrum. "I'm taking my ball home if I can't make the rules!" kind of thing.
Fortunately, his Constitutional power consists solely of having a vote in the Senate if that body is equally divided on an issue. Looks like that's unlikely.
Otherwise, he can of course preside over Senate sessions, but like almost every V.P. in our history, he avoids this like the plague. It has to be one of the most deadly boring functions any person could be expected to be forced into.
The Halliburton Connection is one that SHOULD and WILL, I hope be thoroughly investigated, and let the indictments come!!!

I positioned partial blame in the course of the Bush administration on the Democrats. in spite of everything, Bush signed that garbage into regulation that Democrats despatched him. And the Democrats had administration of both homes of Congress. Republicans have purely the living house. no longer the senate. Democrats had both with Bush. yet you knew that this change into no longer the same. you purely opt for to make stuff up.

John returns, you need to learn to read, just not make assumptions because something fits your shallow belief structure!
from your own link:
<< More importantly, all of it was earned before he was a candidate, when he was the company's chief executive.>>
another statment from your link:
<
is this really signifigant when he got it as long as they knew he was already going to be VP of the country??
no it doesn't!
this also conflicts with earlier statments of the same article!
but as for answering the question, it would not surprise me if he did, considering the action of cheney thus far thinking that he doesn't have to answer for any of his actions, because he can just hide behind "executive privledge"!

I hope he didn't say this. I believe he's as despicable a human being as we've ever had in politics, but he has to realize that he needs the dems to further the administration's agenda for the remaining two years of their administration. 779 days and counting down . . .

I doubt he said this. But he should ignore the Congress. His job, as second to the President, is to support the President.
He gets no vote in Congress. He has no role in Congress, absent a tie.
You are still wrongly assuming Congress is interested in your claims. They are not.

Funny how the voice of reason gets drowned out by the baying of jackals around here.
Cheney is a criminal, and depends on criminal brethren to continue his anti-American agenda of a profit-based war. That's why...
