What's even more amazing is that 209 people voted "Yes". LMAO! I think it was defeated though, 217 to 209.

Yes, too bad it was defeated. It still must have been a slap in the face to Dick, which makes me smile.

VP Cheney is claiming he is neither part of the Executive branch or the Legislative branch. Has he discovered a new Third branch?
The latest dispute between the Democratic Congress demanding information from the White House and a vice president with a penchant for secrecy came when Cheney said his office was exempt from sections of a presidential order that executive branch offices provide data on how much material they classify and declassify.
Cheney's office, with backing from the White House, argued that the offices of the president and vice president were exempt from the order because they are not executive branch "agencies."

Goes to show how divided the United States is. But blood is thicker than water. Maybe a better leader will unite America again. yes, I liked the vote.

That sounds like the right number of votes that I remember seeing in the news. It would have been really funny if they had voted to cut his funding for that office.

Shows the level of intelligence in the Senate. They spend and put pork in every single piece of legistlation then bristle over someone executing a little power, imagine that. A Politiican is more sensitive to power than how they spend money....................they are so close aren't they.........more money buys more power. Gosh, maybe Cheney should give them a loan from his Halliburton fortune.

I hope they vote to do exactly that. Bush and Cheney think they are above the law. Frig them. Damn conservative lemmings won't be happy until we are a facist regime.

I thought it was perfect. The idiot Cheney thinks he can play games with the Constitution, he somehow believes it doesn't apply to him, he is a disgrace.
