See, he's not in the Executive branch. Since he's the 'President' of the Senate, he's part of the Legislative branch.
Quick, someone call a constititional law professor!!!!!
A quick civics quiz: Is the vice president part of the executive branch? You might think the answer is obvious, but apparently not to Vice President Dick Cheney.
The man a heartbeat away from the Oval Office asserts that some rules that apply to everyone else in the executive branch do not apply to him.
Cheney has refused to comply with a request from the National Archives to hand over classified documents. The vice president's office insists that, unlike every other employee of the executive branch, that rule does not include him and his staff. ABC News: With Cheney, Almost Everything Is Secret
The guy is seriously scary.
