GNU Free Documentation License How is Vice President Cheney not part of the executive branch of the American government? Q. Maybe I missed the civics lesson regarding characteristics of the vice presidency. To the best of my knowledge, the Vice President is a member of the government's executive branch, and the VP's role of president of the senate, was designed as an executive check upon the senate's powers. With this in mind, the VP would be a full-fledged member of the executive branch. I do not understand how Vice President Cheney can deny membership within the executive branch.

SOooo I can smile and laugh at his twisted logic. What screws up his "theory" is when he claimed "Executive Privilege" to prevent Scooter and others in his office from testifying. Not TOO much different from President Clinton claiming he couldn't be engaged in a lawsuit because he was Commander in Chief and therefore fell under the "Soldiers & Sailors Relief Act". He dropped that claim when he was advised that under UCMJ he would then be open to charges of Adultry and Sodomy.

Q. I really think that if Hillary wins the primary election, she should choose Evan Bayh from Indiana to run as her Vice President. He is a lot more conservative. And the Democrats need to move from the far left closer to the center. Hillary is definitely more liberal and will need a more conservative running mate in the fall if she hopes to win.
