Tricky Dick Cheney just declared a new Branch of the government... There's the Judicial Branch, Legislative Branch, Executive Branch, and now Sovereign Overlord! Recently the National Archives, which has a unit that oversees classified information from the Executive Branch has ordered that he release his classified documents to them, so he refuses under the excuse that the office of the Vice President isn't a part of the EB.  The Executive Branch, which if my memory serves me correctly encompasses the offices of President, Vice President, Cabinets such as the DEA, NSA, CIA, and the White House Staff and Joint Chiefs.... So, uhh... either he doesn't know how we've been doing business for the past 200+ years, or he just doesn't give a fuck. He claims that the Vice Presidency is a "special" office, and that he isnt bound by either Executive or Legislative Branch oversights seeing as the VP is also president over the Senate. So if his logic is correct then he doesn't have the power to wield any Executive power if he isn't part of the Executive Branch... And get this... he's trying to move to disolve the National Archives! The people who watch over important shit like.. oh I dunno.. the DECLARATION OF INDEPENENCE, BILL OF RIGHTS, CONSTITUTION, EMANCIPATION PROCLAIMATION... all the other meaningless shit that maintains our democracy, yeah, he wants it done away with.

Who does this  guy think he is? Emperor fuckin' Palpatine??
