Possible Move to Defund Cheney's Office

Since Vice President Dick "Darth Vader" Cheney claims that he is not part of the executive branch and, therefore, not subject to any oversight, etc., I support the possible Congressional move to deny Cheney's office any funding. Here's portions of The Raw Story.com's coverage:

While some would argue that Dick Cheney has sought unlimited power for his office in President George W. Bush's White House, the Vice President could soon be facing some major limits on his government bank account. A top House Democrat has announced his intention to offer an amendment to strip funding from the yearly budget for the Office of the Vice President.

On the Hill, there's an overwhelmingly positive reaction," a spokesman for Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) told RAW STORY Monday afternoon. He went on, "This is an important amendment and question, and it's a choice that the Vice President should make. He cannot be allowed to accept executive branch funding and not adhere to executive branch rules. There is no fourth branch of government."

Increasingly, Cheney thinks that he is exempt from any rules whatsoever. I guess he thinks he's Hermann Goering - they do have a similar body build, now that I think of it, although Goering had more hair. :) Perhaps Mussolini is another hero idol for him.
