"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

The Raw Story | Democrats plan to cut Cheney out of executive funding bill

The Raw Story | Democrats plan to cut Cheney out of executive funding bill: "Following Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion that his office is not a part of the executive branch of the US government, Democratic Caucus Chairman Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) plans to introduce an amendment to the the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill to cut funding for Cheney's office.

The amendment to the bill that sets the funding for the executive branch will be considered next week in the House of Representatives."

I like this, finally someone with an imagination in congress. If he does not classify himself as part of the executive branch, Cheney will not get the funding he gets as part of the executive branch. Of course, our idiot congress will never get it passed.
